This volume contains the main proceedings of the 2018 edition of the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2018). ESWC is established as a yearly major venue for discussing the latest scientific results and technology innovations related to the Semantic Web and linked data. At ESWC, international scientists, industry specialists, and practitioners meet to discuss the future of applicable, scalable, user-friendly, as well as potentially game-changing solutions. The 15th edition took place from June 3rd to June 7th, 2018, in Heraklion, Crete (Greece). Building on its past success, ESWC is also a venue for broadening the focus of the Semantic Web community to span other relevant research areas in which semantics and Web technology play an important role, as well as for experimenting with innovative practices and topics that deliver extra value to the community and beyond. This year’s conference has introduced some novelties compared with the past: a new open reviewing policy (see later); three main tracks instead of two: the usual research and in-use tracks, plus a novel resource track; a new industry session dedicated to experiences and results by semantic technology companies. The research track is organized into subtracks, and the chairs of ESWC 2018 organized two special subtracks putting particular emphasis on usage areas where Semantic Web technologies are facilitating a leap of progress, namely:“Benchmarking and Empirical Evaluations” and “Semantic Web for Science.” The other events keep the legacy of the past: a poster and demo session, workshops and tutorials, a PhD symposium, a challenges track, a project networking session. The regular subtracks include: vocabularies, schemas, ontologies, reasoning, linked data (including knowledge graphs), social Web and Web science, semantic data management, natural language processing and information retrieval, machine learning, mobile Web, sensors and semantic streams, services, APIs, processes and cloud computing. Concerning the open reviewing policy, ESWC 2018 adopted a double-open reviewing schema, additionally placing all papers (either accepted or rejected) on the conference website, jointly with their reviews (rejected papers will be removed after the conference upon the authors’ request) and the names of the reviewers (except when they decided to opt out). Two special chairs, Silvio Peroni and Sarven Capadisli, produced the website branch hosting papers and reviews, and enabled visitors to provide comments. The reviewing data have been processed in order to obtain insights over the multiple facets involved in the process and its argumentation. The overall policy is original for a conference, but we have inherited the experience of the successful open reviewing applied by the Semantic Web Journal, championed by one of its editors-in-chief, Pascal Hitzler, who was the resource chair at ESWC 2018. Data analytics and user feedback reports from this innovative process were discussed at the opening and closing sessions of ESWC 2018. Emerging from its roots in AI and Web technology, the Semantic Web today is mainly a Web of linked data and a reference model for all sorts of knowledge graphs
