This foreword introduces a summary of themes and papers of the Web2Touch (W2T) 2021 Track at the 30th IEEE WETICE Conference held as a virtual Conference, in October 2021. W2T 2021 includes four full papers. They all address relevant issues in the field of collaborative web, semantic technologies, ontologies, knowledge engineering, linked data and internet of things applied to themes of high impact on society, such as education, social inclusion and health. These papers propose to explore affordable technologies to promote and valorize rural areas, to develop ontologies for supporting simulation-based training in Medicine, to use semantic technologies in a framework for promoting reuse and interoperability of Electronic Health Records, as well as to use these technologies to provide recommendations in an Internet of Things device migration scenario.
