Call for papers: Semantic Web Journal Special Issue on
Wikidata: Construction, Evaluation and Applications
Wikidata is an openly available knowledge base, hosted by the Wikimedia
Foundation. It can be accessed and edited by both humans and machines and
acts as a common structured-data repository for several Wikimedia projects,
including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and Wikisource. It is used in a variety of
semantic web applications by researchers and practitioners alike.
In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of publications
around Wikidata. While there are several dedicated venues for the broader
Wikidata community to meet, none of them focuses on publishing
comprehensive, peer-reviewed research. This special issue fills this gap -
we hope to provide a forum to build this fledgling scientific community and
promote novel work and resources that support it.
The special issue seeks original contributions and extended conference
papers that address the opportunities and challenges of creating,
contributing to, and using the global, collaborative, open-domain,
multilingual knowledge graph Wikidata.
