Overview
-------------

The Semantic Web provides a formal way to represent data easily interpretable by computers. It proposes an extremely simple data model to describe knowledge based on three elements only: subject, predicate and object. Besides, it gives a technologies stack to describe, integrate and query information semantically. This simple way of representing knowledge make it extremely versatile and applicable to any research area. Since Information Retrieval to Semantic Searches passing through Bioinformatics, eHealth, eAgriculture, eLearning, Automation Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, eCommerce, eGovernment, or even Social Networks.

Additionally, with the emergence of cutting-edge technology trends such as Big Data, Internet Of Things, Machine Learning or Cloud Computing, new methods and techniques to store, understand, manage and extract knowledge are required. In this sense, we have organized the Semantic Technology Applications in Current Society (STACS) special track with a broad scope to concretely study advanced Semantic and Knowledge-based methods and techniques and their applications in different research areas.
