The Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST) is a regional federation of Semantic Technology related conferences.
The mission of JIST is to bring together researchers from the semantic technology research community and other related areas to present their innovative research results or novel applications of semantic technologies.

JIST 2013 invites submissions of original research on the semantic web and other semantic technologies, as well as, applications of semantic technologies.
The proceedings will be published as a book in Lecture Note for Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer. Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and published in the printed conference proceedings.
