	~~Title: Financial Information Management Using the Semantic Web~~		Abstract: Recent financial crises have demonstrated the need for sophisticated modeling of and deep reasoning about financial events and associated financial information. These tasks present foundational and technical challenges which are best addressed using open standards developed by the Semantic Web community. The tutorial will explains foundational concepts in finance and semantic web technologies, present relevant standards and languages, and work through several use cases and motivating examples in detail.

	~~Motivation:~~

	The Great Recession of 2008 and the continuing reverberations in the Eurozone have highlighted significant limitations in the ability of regulators and analysts/researchers to monitor and model national and global financial ecosystems. There is a lack of financial cyberinfrastructure to ingest and process in real time numerous streams of financial transactions, as well as the accompanying data streams of economic activity. Also absent are open standards and shared semantics so that this data can be used to populate models of individual markets, financial networks, and the interconnected ecosystem representing the global financial system. The most important challenge is the need to develop computational research frameworks, models and methods, in the spirit of past efforts to identify computational grand challenges in a diversity of data intensive domains such as the biomedical sciences, health information management, and climate change. The next generation of financial cyberinfrastructure must provide a platform that can transform our current approaches to monitoring and regulating systemic risk.

	This tutorial will be held in conjunction with ISWC because academic researchers, regulators, and industry specialists from both the financial instruments and financial software products industries have recognized the critical importance of developing financial cyberinfrastructure over a platform of semantics and standards, semantic Web technologies, and Linked Open Data principles and methods.
