Contributions submitted to the journal and dealing with semantics of data will be considered even if they are not from the topics in the list.

Finally, it is also possible that a journal issue be devoted to a single text. §04§23rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2004).- Default Clustering with Conceptual Structures.- Workshop on Context and Ontologies: Theory,Practice and Applications (C〓02§Barbara Pernici is full professor of Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Milano.
