The Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC), formerly the European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC), the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC), the European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC), and initially the European Semantic Web Symposium (ESWS), aims to bring together researchers and practioners dealing with different aspects of semantics on the Web.

Until 2007 ESWC was organized by the SDK project cluster (SDK Cluster projects: Semantic Knowledge Technologies (SEKT), Data, Information, and Process Integration with Semantic Web Services (DIP), Knowledge Web (KW)) and its successor, the European Semantic Systems Initiative (ESSI). Since 2008 ESWC is organized by the Semantic Technology Institute International (STI International).

From 2010-2012 the “European” became the “Extended” Semantic Web Conference to underline the extended scope and international character behind this event, “to extend its focus by engaging with other communities within and outside ICT, in which semantics can play an important role.”, but also due to the acquisition of the European Semantic Technology Conference (ESTC) by Mediabistro in 2011. In 2023 the name was changed again from “European” to “Extended” Semantic Web Conference but it is still listed as “European” conference.

Conference Formats:
Pre-conference tutorials & workshops; pre-conference PhD Symposium (since 2007); Keynotes; Panels; Posters & Demos, Research, Industry, In-use etc. tracks; Challenges track (until 2018; ESWC/Semantic Web Evaluation Challenge (2014-2018); LinkedUp Challenge (2014); AI Mashup Challenge (2010-2014); Semantic Web Service Challenge (2008)); EU Project networking session (since 2012).
