Prof. Christian Bizer mit SWSA Ten-Year Award ausgezeichnet
The SWSA Ten-Year Award recognizes the highest impact papers from the ISWC proceedings ten years prior (i.e., in 2017 the award honors a paper from 2007). The decision is based primarily, but not exclusively, on the number of citations to the papers from the proceedings in the intervening decade.
