In a world with generative AI, semantically annotated data of high quality is also of high value! The SEMANTiCS conference usually brings together not only Semantic Web scholars, but also players from the industry. More than 400 people attended the 22nd edition of SEMANTiCS in Ghent, Belgium from September 15 to 17, 2026. Apparently a record number of participants! In this blog post I will reflect on some of the keynotes and talks that I have attended. As always with references, links, and archived at the Rogue Scholar.
