Preface
The Third Canadian Semantic Web Symposium (CSWS2011) is a follow-up to the previous symposia (CSWWS 2006 and CSWWS 2009). It aims at bringing together Canadian and international researchers in semantic technologies and knowledge management to discuss about various issues related to the Semantic Web.
We thank all authors for submitting to CSWS2011, the program committee for the help in the review process for the symposium program.
