SWAT4HCLS (Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Healthcare and Life Sciences) is a venue for presenting and discussing novel ideas, experiences and issues in the application of semantic and W3C Web technologies in the biomedical and clinical domains.
Starting in 2008, SWAT4HCLS has been held continuously for more than 12 years, expanding from a one day workshop to a four-day event composed of tutorials, conference and hackathon.
SWAT4HCLS intends to provide an open and vibrant discussion space cross-cutting across academia, industry and institutional participants.
