Multi-Tool Analysis of User Interface & Accessibility in Deployed Web-Based Chatbots
In this work, we present a multi-tool evaluation of 106 deployed web-based chatbots, across domains like healthcare, education and customer service, comprising both standalone applications and embedded widgets using automated tools (Google Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights, SiteImprove Accessibility Checker) and manual audits (Microsoft Accessibility Insights). Our analysis reveals that over 80% of chatbots exhibit at least one critical accessibility issue, and 45% suffer from missing semantic str…

This is the main square in Piran, Slovenia, early morning today. Only 10 minutes away, the 22nd Extended Semantic Web Conference ESWC 2025 will take place, starting on Sunday, June 1st, 2025. I'm looking forward to meeting dear colleagues as well as old and new friends, listening to exciting keynotes, great presentations, and many more activities.

This is the main old city sqaure of the pitoresque town or Piran, at the southernmost end of Slovenia. The square is surrounded by historical classicistic buildings. You see the campanile of the church behind those buildings.

From this year on, ESWC will be under the umbrella of SWSA, the Semantic Web Science Association, to secure financial sustainability for the upcoming years after its previous supporting organisation STI was dissolved in 2023. Basics about the transition are given by Elena Simperl, president of SWSA.
