format. The detailed Call for Research and Innovation papers is
available here: https://2020-eu.semantics.cc/calls
== Posters and Demos Track ==
The Posters and Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in
progress, late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller
contributions in all fields related to the Semantic Web and Linked Data
in a broader sense. These include submissions on innovative applications
with impact on end users, such as demos of solutions that users may test
or that are yet in the conceptual phase but are worth discussing, and
also applications or pieces of code that may attract developers and
potential research or business partners.

Focusing strongly on industry needs and ground breaking technology
trends SEMANTICS invites presentations on enterprise solutions that deal
with semantic processing of data and/or information. A special focus of
Semantics 2019 will be on the convergence of machine learning techniques
and knowledge graphs. Additional topics of interest are Enterprise
Knowledge Graphs, Semantic AI & Machine Learning, Enterprise Data
Integration, Linked Data & Data Publishing, Semantic Search,
Recommendation Services, Thesaurus and/or Ontology Management, Text
Mining, Data Mining and any related fields. All submissions should have

== Workshops and Tutorials ==
Workshops and Tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2018 allow your organisation or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased
visibility. The workshops and tutorials will provide a forum for
presenting widely recognised contributions and findings to a diverse and
knowledgeable community. Furthermore, the event can be used as a
dissemination activity in the scope of large research projects or as a
closed format for research and commercial project consortia meetings.
= Important Dates for Workshops:
* Proposals WS Deadline: March 23, 2020 (11:59 pm,
Hawaii time)
* Notification of Acceptance: April 20, 2020 (11:59 pm,
Hawaii time)
= Important Dates for Tutorials (and other meetings, e.g. seminars,
show-cases, etc., without call for papers):
* Proposals Tutorial Deadline: May 11, 2020 (11:59 pm,
Hawaii time)
* Notification of Acceptance: June 01, 2020 (11:59

== Special Calls ==
Special calls or sub-topics are dedicated towards specific topics that
are of special interest to the SEMANTiCS community. In case we receive a
sufficient amount of high quality submissions these topics will become
special tracks within the conference program. For 2020 SEMANTiCS
Amsterdam encourages submissions to the following sub-topics:
* Special Sub-Topic: Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage
* Special Sub-Topic: LegalTech
* Special Sub-Topic: Blockchain and Semantics
Each sub-topic is managed by a distinct committee and encourages
submissions from the scientific or industrial domain. Scientific
submissions will undergo a thorough review process and will be published
in the conference proceedings in case of acceptance. Industrial
submissions will be evaluated and selected according to the quality
criteria of the industry track. We are looking forward to your submissions!

Subject: [OSM-talk] W3C Maps on the Web workshop
To: talk(a)openstreetmap.org <talk(a)openstreetmap.org>
Dear Open Street Map community,
I apologize if you are seeing this email for a second time. I sent it
originally to the talk-ca list, and I was advised that this list might
be more appropriate.
My name is Peter Rushforth, and I’m with the Canada Centre for Mapping
and Earth Observation, at Natural Resources Canada (a Canadian
government department). We are planning a World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) workshop on maps in the Web platform (specifically HTML),
together with the W3C and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The
workshop will be collocated with the OGC Technical Committee meeting,
June 15-17 2020 in Montreal, Quebec.
I am sending this email to see if Open Street Map (especially the Web
client development teams) might be interested in being invited to
participate (by presenting a short position paper, in person) in this
workshop on the concept of better integrating mapping into the Web
platform standards, and if so, how does Open Street Map see this.
Even if you believe that the Web platform standards are already good
enough for mapping, it might be worthwhile staking that out as a
position. If you are interested, though, we would certainly welcome
OSM to also be part of the program committee.
The objective of the workshop will be to start the conversation
between the geospatial (and geospatial standards) and Web platform
communities, about how Web standards could better serve the needs of
Web mapping and most especially users of Web maps and the Web in
general.
Some topics of potential interest include:
a native map viewer, similar to that provided for video content
standards for how such a map widget might integrate with map services and APIs
accessibility of browser maps
privacy of user location information
security of browser-based maps
Integration / relationship of maps and location with other browser
APIs, e.g. geo-video, geolocation API, forms, SVG
crawling, indexing and searching map information
standardized browser elements and APIs
CSS styling of maps and map features
Map feature creation / input forms
federated map services with linking - aka the Web
Mostly the agenda will be driven by position papers, and what
organizations like yours want to discuss. If OSM is interested in
sending one or two people to present a position, please reply directly
to me, and I will ensure that you / they are invited.
Sincerely,
Peter

Subject: [Wikidata] New Wikimedia dataset for NLP research
To: <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello Wikidata folks,
I would like to bring your attention to an open source dataset I've
been developing called the Kensho Derived Wikimedia Dataset (KDWD).
It's a cleaned English subset of Wikipedia/Wikidata with 2.3B tokens,
5.3M pages, 51M nodes, and 120M edges. More details are available
here https://blog.kensho.com/announcing-the-kensho-derived-wikimedia-dataset-5d1…
