D2R2 Workshop @ ESWC2023

Recent crises such as the Covid 19 pandemic wave and the Russia-Ukraine war have not only put supply chains and economic value networks to the test. They have also shown the need to increase the flexibility of technical infrastructures, energy supply, healthcare systems and social structures alike. Currently, many economic and social sectors are constantly challenged by recession fears, political decisions, and environmental disasters to prove their resilience and to evolve and transform to cope with change.

The D2R2’23 workshop is organized by the CoyPu project and will provide an open forum to share current issues, ideas, and trends on the topic of data-driven resilience research. Scientists, software engineers, resilience practitioners, and domain experts will come together to explore the topic from all angles. Ongoing technological developments, current research approaches as well as application scenarios and field reports will be presented to be discussed afterwards with a broad audience of experts.

You are invited to submit papers on new findings and ongoing work, as well as position papers that address various aspects of data-driven resilience research from a scientific or practitioner perspective.

DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium

Dear all, 

We are excited to invite you to the 1st DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium, organized on July 6th, 2022 in Leipzig, Germany. The DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium will be held on the third day of the week-long Data Week Leipzig 2022 event (July 4-8, 2022).

We are creating a meeting place and scientific network around DBpedia for scientific exchange – the DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium – where junior and senior researchers establish relations and collaborations and exchange ideas and knowledge. Thus, we aim to manifest a scientific community as a driver for DBpedia and Linked Data and expect synergies and network effects that will greatly improve scientific output by the involved community members. 

Symposium Format

The DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium consists of the following highlights:

  • A senior researcher starts the symposium by giving insights into their experience on “what makes a good PhD”.
  • PhD students present their thesis and topics. On the one hand, they will receive feedback and on the other hand, the symposium participants will gain insight on 1) how they structure and define their PhDs, 2) what the current trends are and 3) make potential connecting points for collaboration.
  • A dedicated poster session where all PhD participants can bring their poster and discuss with the audience during the coffee breaks. Please contact the organizers if interested in presenting a poster!
  • A community session with discussions on how to coordinate the research around DBpedia.
  • Student mentoring – a senior researcher (see below the confirmed list of mentors) will be assigned to each PhD student to provide feedback on their PhD topic and have an informal conversation in the evening at the social event.
  • In the afternoon we will walk through the city center of Leipzig and also visit the LivingLab at the University of Leipzig. In the evening we will meet in a nearby pub and discuss the PhD topics of the day.

Each PhD presenter will receive a 30 minute slot which includes 20 minutes for presentation of the research topic and 10 minutes for questions, feedback and discussion.

Scope

We are looking for presentations within the broader scope of the knowledge engineering field. From knowledge extraction, integration and curation, to knowledge publishing, quality assurance and knowledge exploitation in AI solutions. 

How to apply

To apply for a PhD presentation please fill in the form and submit your PhD topic presentation until May 29, 2022.  Notifications of Acceptance will be sent out by June 3, 2022

How to register

The symposium will be organized as an on-site event where you need to register and buy at least a single day Data Week ticket. All symposium participants will be invited to an informal meeting in the evening, where the PhD student can discuss their current results and future plans with professors and experts from the knowledge engineering field.

Confirmed list of mentors

  • Maribel Acosta, RUB
  • Thomas Riechert, HTWK
  • Sahar Vahdati, InfAI
  • Maria-Esther Vidal, TIB
  • Krzysztof Węcel, PUEB

We look forward to meeting you in Leipzig and discussing your PhD research topic!

All the best,

Sebastian, Milan & Julia

International Workshop on Data-driven Resilience Research 2022

In the face of continuously changing contextual conditions and ubiquitous disruptive crisis events, the concept of resilience refers to some of the most urgent, challenging, and interesting issues of nowadays society. Economic value networks, technical infrastructures, health systems, and social textures alike need to unfold capacities to withstand, adapt, recover or even refine and transform themselves to stay ahead of changes.

The D2R2’22 workshop will provide an open forum to exchange current issues, ideas, and trends in the area of Data-driven Resilience Research among scientists, software engineers, resilience practitioners, and domain experts. Ongoing technological developments, current research approaches as well as use case scenarios, and field reports will be presented and discussed with a broad and multi-disciplinary specialist audience. We invite contributions of novel results and ongoing work as well as position papers focusing on various aspects of Data-driven Resilience Research from a scientific or practical perspective.

DBpedia Tutorial @ The Web Conference 2022

Dear all,

We are proud to announce that we will organize an online tutorial at the Web Conference on 25th of April 2022. A particular focus will be put on the DBpedia Infrastructure, i.e. DBpedia’s Databus publishing platform and the associated DBpedia services (Spotlight, Lookup and the DBpedia endpoints). In practical examples we will illustrate the potential and the benefit of using DBpedia in the context of the Web of Data.

Quick Facts

Style and Duration

We will organize a DBpedia Knowledge Graph hands-on tutorial. Although the tutorial will be shaped in a way that no specific prerequisites will be required, the participants would benefit if they have some background knowledge in Semantic Web concepts and technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL), general overview of the Web Architecture (HTTP, URI, JSON, etc.) and basic programming skills (bash, Java, JavaScript). The online tutorial will be 90 minutes.

DBpedia Masterclass @ Connected Data World

Dear all,

We are proud to announce that we will organize the masterclass “DBpedia Knowledge Graph Tutorial for Beginners” at the Connected Data World event. The masterclass will take place online on December 2, 2021 at 4:15pm CET and it targets existing and potential new users of DBpedia, developers that wish to learn basics about the DBpedia Knowledge Graph and learn how to replicate and deploy DBpedia on a local infrastructure as well as Linked Data and Knowledge Graph adopters.

Highlights

In this masterclass, participants will learn how to consume the DBpedia Knowledge Graph (KG) with the least amount of effort. The masterclass will introduce the DBpedia KG and explain its dataset partitions. Particular focus will be put on “usability”. On a selected use case, we will explain the process of working with DBpedia KG and DBpedia technology stack (DBpedia Databus, DBpedia Spotlight, DBpedia Docker) and illustrate the potential and the benefits of using DBpedia.
