Introduction

The Semantic Web is the next generation of the Web. It provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. Semantic Web technologies facilitate building a large-scale Web of machine-readable and machine-understandable knowledge, and thus facilitate data reuse and integration so that the new generation of the Web can provide better applications and services. Semantic Web research attracts researchers and developers from the artificial intelligence, database, software engineering, information retrieval, social network, and Web engineering communities. Nowadays, the release of related specifications and the rapid development of Linking Open Data have created great opportunities for the new generation of Web applications and services. Under such circumstances, the 3rd Chinese Semantic Web Symposium (CSWS 2009) was held in Nanjing, in August 2009.

The past two CSWSes was held in Beijing, November 2007 and Shanghai, December 2008, respectively. CSWS 2009 endeavoured to follow the objectives of the past CSWSes, and created opportunities of communication for researchers and in particular the youth from the Semantic Web community. Before the main symposium, a summer school on the logical foundation of the Semantic Web was held. The main symposium included keynote speeches, paper presentations, panel discussions, lightning talks, etc. Accepted and presented papers, after further revision, will be published in EI-indexed Journals including Web Intelligence and Agent Systems and Journal of Southeast University (English Edition).
