Dear Saven, The scientific articles are presenting scientific achievements in a format that is suitable for human consumption. Documents in a portable format remain the best way to do that for a conference today.
However: - all the metadata of the conference are published as linked data e.g. http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2014/html - authors are encouraged to publish, the datasets and algorithms they use in their research on the Web following its standards.
