III: Travel Fellowships for Students from U.S. Universities to Attend ISWC 2013

语义技术开始在广泛的应用中发挥越来越重要的作用。迫切需要高级培训研究生在这一领域进行研究，并为学术或工业生涯做准备。参加该领域的主要研究会议是这种培训的一个基本要素。该项目提供资金，资助10-15名美国大学学生参加2013年国际语义网会议（ISWC）的旅费，该会议将于2013年10月21日至25日在澳大利亚悉尼举行。ISWC是一个重要的国际会议，它为语义网及其相关领域的严格同行评审研究成果的展示提供了一个场所。会议包括两个专门针对研究生的活动：ISWC博士联盟为博士生提供了一个展示他们的工作并获得反馈和指导的机会。ISWC职业指导午餐为学生提供了一个非正式的环境，与社区中的高级研究人员讨论与研究职业有关的所有问题，并建立长期的指导关系。该项目的更广泛的影响包括：增加了在语义网和相关领域培训和指导美国研究生的机会，扩大了目前在计算机科学中代表性不足的群体（妇女和少数民族）的学生的参与，特别是语义网。

Semantic technologies, are beginning to play increasingly important roles across a broad range of applications. There is an urgent need for advanced training graduate students to conduct research in this area and prepare for academic or industrial careers.Participation in premier research conferences in the area is an essential element of such training. This project provides funds to subsidize the travel expenses of 10-15 students at U.S. universities to attend the 2013 International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) which will be held October 21-25, 2013 in Sydney, Australia. ISWC is a premier international conference which offers a venue for presentation of rigorously peer-reviewed research results in Semantic Web and allied areas. The conference includes two events specially targeted to graduate students: The ISWC doctoral consortium offers an opportunity for doctoral students to present their work and receive feedback and mentoring. The ISWC Career Mentoring lunch provides an informal setting for students to discuss all issues pertaining to research careers with senior researchers in the community, and to establish long-term mentoring ties. Broader impacts of the project include: Enhanced opportunities for training and mentoring of US-based graduate students in Semantic Web and related areas, broadening the particiation of students from groups (women and minorities) that are currently under-represented in Computer Science in general, and Semantic Web in particular.
