Hi all,
We, the Research team at Wikimedia Foundation, have received some requests
over the past months for making ourselves more available to answer some of
the research questions that you as Wikimedia volunteers, affiliates' staff,
and researchers face in your projects and initiatives. Starting January
2020, we will experiment with monthly office hours organized jointly by our
team and the Analytics team where you can join us and direct your questions
to us. We will revisit this experiment in June 2020 to assess whether to
continue it or not.
The scope
We encourage you to attend the office hour if you have research related
questions. These can be questions about our teams, our projects, or more
importantly questions about your projects or ideas that we can support you
with during the office hours. You can also ask us questions about how to
use a specific dataset available to you, to answer a question you have, or
some other question. Note that the purpose of the office hours is to answer
your questions during the dedicated time of the office hour. Questions that
may require many hours of back-and-forth between our team and you are not
suited for this forum. For these bigger questions, however, we are happy to
brainstorm with you in the office hour and point you to some good
directions to explore further on your own (and maybe come back in the next
office hour and ask more questions).
Time and Location
We meet on the 4th Wednesday of every month 17.00-18.00 (UTC) in
#wikimedia-research IRC channel on freenode [1].
The first meeting will be on January 22.
Up-to-date information on mediawiki [2]
Archiving
If you miss the office hour, you can read the logs of it at [3].
The future announcements about these office hours will only go to the
following lists so please make sure you're subscribed to them if you like
to receive a ping:
* wiki-research-l mailing list [4]
* analytics mailing list [5]
* wikidata mailing list [6]
* the Research category in Space [7]

Website: https://www.um.org/umap2020/
============================
Abstracts due: January 31, 2020 (mandatory)
Papers due: February 7, 2020
============================
BACKGROUND AND SCOPE:
============================
ACM UMAP – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization – is the premier
international conference for researchers and practitioners working on
systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and that
collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by
ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB, and organized with User Modeling Inc. as the core
Steering Committee, extended with past years’ chairs. The proceedings are
published by ACM and will be part of the ACM Digital Library.
ACM UMAP covers a wide variety of research areas where personalization and
adaptation may be applied. This includes a number of domains in which
researchers are engendering significant innovations based on advances in
user modeling and adaptation, recommender systems, adaptive educational
systems, intelligent user interfaces, e-commerce, advertising, digital
humanities, social networks, personalized health, entertainment, and many
more.
We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization and
adaptation in any area; the conference web site provides a detailed (but
not proscriptive) list of topics and sub-topics of importance to the
conference. As the theme for UMAP 2020 is “Responsible Personalization,”
submissions in all areas that emphasize ethical dimensions of personalized
systems are welcome.
CONFERENCE TOPICS:
============================
For details, see the conference website (https://www.um.org/umap2020/)
* Personalized Recommender Systems
* Adaptive Hypermedia and the Semantic Web
* Intelligent User Interfaces
* Personalized Social Web
* Technology-Enhanced Adaptive Learning
* Privacy, Fairness, and Transparency
* Personalized Health
* User Modeling and Personalization Applications
* Theory, Opinion, Reflection
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
============================
Papers will be submitted through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2020
Long (8 pages + references) and Short (4 pages + references) papers in ACM
style. Original research papers addressing the theory and/or practice of
UMAP, and papers showcasing innovative use of UMAP and exploring the
benefits and challenges of applying UMAP technology in real-life
applications and contexts are welcome.
Long papers should present original reports of substantive new research
techniques, findings, and applications of UMAP. They should place the work
within the field and clearly indicate its innovative aspects. Research
procedures and technical methods should be presented in sufficient detail
to ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results should be clearly
communicated and implications of the contributions/findings for UMAP and
beyond should be explicitly discussed.
Short papers should present original and highly promising research or
applications. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance
rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, and user studies.
Separation of long and short papers will be strictly enforced so papers
will not compete across categories, but only within each category. Papers
that receive high scores and are considered promising by reviewers, but
didn’t make the acceptance cut may be revised and resubmitted as posters.
Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF) proceedings
template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
All accepted papers will be published by ACM and will be available via the
ACM Digital Library. To be included in the Proceedings, at least one author
of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the

Together with the last Python 2 release from April, 2020, Pywikibot team
will release the **last version that supports Python 2**. We created a
**python2" tag** marking the version, so you can continue running your
Python 2 scripts using this tag, if you really need to.
After that version, Pywikibot is not going to receive any further patches
and bug fixes related to Python 2. Its code is going to be cleaned from
Python 2 specific functions, patches, deprecations and other stuff, so make
sure you'll use this tag if you still want to run Pywikibot using Python 2.
Pywikibot team strongly recommends to migrate your scripts to Python 3. To
make it happen, you can use Python 2to3 script installed by default with
Python 2.6+, see https://docs.python.org/2/library/2to3.html. You can also
just try to run your script using Python 3 (the "-simulate" parameter could
be handy) and fix all the issues. If you encounter problems with the
migration, you can always ask us here:

Best regards,
Martin Urbanec and Dvorapa
(Apologies if you receive multiple copies. We are trying to reach out across many communities.)
Awesome Tools for the Semantic Web
==================================
A session at US2TS 2020
Do you develop tools, libraries, or other resources that are intended to enable, broaden, or apply semantic web technologies? Are you interested in raising the community’s awareness of them? Do you build (semantic web or not) applications (re)using such resources, and have a story to tell? Or have you tried building such applications and discovered shortcomings in the current tool or library ecosystem?
If your answer is yes to any of the above, please consider attending and contributing to “Fostering an awesome tool ecosystem for the semantic web”, a session at the upcoming US2TS 2020 conference (March 9-11, Raleigh NC, https://us2ts.org <https://us2ts.org/>). The session aims to foster community awareness of existing resources based on semantic web technologies, and to facilitate the exchange of know-how and common gaps or limitations in current tooling.
We are now inviting contributions in the form of short (5-10 minutes) presentations, in particular for awesome(*) software tools and libraries, and for experiences with building end-user applications. Submit your presentation here:
https://forms.gle/DkVnJ2qgjH1bB4ru7 <https://forms.gle/DkVnJ2qgjH1bB4ru7>
Review is rolling — acceptance is first-come, first-served until all allocable time for the session is used up. Hence, please submit as early as possible. (Early registration for US2TS 2020 is scheduled to end on January 31, 2020. At least one of the authors needs to attend and be able to present.)
For more details about the session see the (accepted) session proposal: Lapp & Gonçalves, Fostering an awesome tool ecosystem for the semantic web. Authorea. January 03, 2020. https://doi.org/10.22541/au.157807505.51352689
(*) The meaning of awesome includes, but is not limited to, openly available, reusable resources that are potential building blocks contributing to an interoperable ecosystem.
Looking forward to your submissions,

Subject: [IFLA-L] UN Library launches new linked data services platform:
metadata.un.org
To: ifla-l(a)iflalists.org <ifla-l(a)iflalists.org>
The Dag Hammarskjöld Library is pleased to announce the launch of their new
linked data services platform: metadata.un.org. Linked data is structured
data interlinked with other data, making it more discoverable and
searchable through semantic queries.
Metadata.un.org currently hosts the Library’s UNBIS Thesaurus
<http://metadata.un.org/thesaurus/?lang=en> and the Department of Economic
and Social Affairs’ taxonomy of Sustainable Development Goals
<http://metadata.un.org/sdg/?lang=en> identifiers. More linked data
services and taxonomies will be hosted on metadata.un.org as they become
available.
The UNBIS Thesaurus is a database of controlled vocabulary used by UN
programmes, funds, and regional commissions to describe the UN’s published
output (parliamentary documents, publications, reports, etc.). The new
platform provides a revamped interface with increased functionality in the
six official UN languages. Its controlled vocabulary makes subject
searches possible by identifying materials on the same concept
consistently, despite terminology changes over time.
DESA’s SDG Taxonomy was produced in collaboration with groups from across
the UN system. They developed a system of Internationalized Resource
Identifiers (IRIs) for the SDGs, the related targets and indicators,
related entities linking to UNBIS Thesaurus terms
<http://metadata.un.org/sdg/1?lang=en>, as well as the SDG Interface
Ontology, maintained by UN Environment. These common identifiers are
deployed to provide a key element of infrastructure that will allow UN
system organizations and relevant stakeholders to map their SDG resources
to the growing pool of knowledge about the SDGs available on the semantic
web.
We welcome feedback <http://metadata.un.org/feedback?lang=en> on this new
service.

The industry track aims to facilitate the exchange between Semantic Web researchers and industrial solution developers to bridge between state-of-the-art research and its application in industrial scenarios. We welcome contributions about:
* Success stories of adoption of semantic technologies and knowledge graphs in real-world environments, especially by emphasizing how these technologies have succeeded in creating value as well as key factors for the success of the adoption in a large-scale organization.
* Experiences about challenges that are encountered in an industry setting when adopting a solution based on semantic technologies.
* Contributions about current challenges in industrial fields which should be tackled by semantic technologies, emphasizing solution approaches and existing issues that are currently only insufficiently addressed by Semantic Web research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Development and application of semantic technologies and knowledge graphs for specific industries (automotive, financial, healthcare and life sciences, energy industry, industry 4.0, public sector etc.)
* Real-world applications of semantic technologies for enabling FAIR (meta) data
* Approaches to bridge between domain experts and semantic technology experts
* Successful application domains: Knowledge management, data integration, data sharing, search, Business Intelligence, data analytics, open data, enterprise data management etc.
* Industrial trends related to the usage of Linked Data, Open Data and Semantic Web technologies
* Financial and strategic investments in semantic technologies
* Machine Learning approaches in connection with the Semantic Web (e.g. ML for knowledge graph completion or ontology matching, learning of knowledge graph and entity embeddings, question answering, etc)

Hello all,
As part of our work on data quality, and how we can make sure that data and
references match, we have been working on a new notification to notify
editors when they are *editing values without updating the reference*.
You can learn more about the feature and give feedback on this page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatched_reference_notification_in…>.
For now, the feature is deployed on test.wikidata.org. Based on your
feedback, we may be able to enable it on wikidata.org in February 2020.
If you have comments or questions, please add them to the dedicated talk
page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Mismatched_reference_notificati…>.
Thanks,
