Dear all,
We are proud to announce that we will organize a tutorial at the
Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK) conference on September 1, 2021 at
3pm CEST. The tutorial targets existing and potential new users of
DBpedia, developers that wish to learn how to replicate DBpedia
infrastructure, service providers interested in exploiting the DBpedia
Knowledge Graph (KG) and data providers interested in integrating data
assets with the DBpedia KG as well as data scientists (e.g. linguists)
focused on extracting relevant information (e.g. linguistic) from/based
on the DBpedia KG.
# Highlights
During the course of the tutorial the participants will gain knowledge
about:
- the complete DBpedia Knowledge Graph lifecycle, i.e. from extraction
and modelling to publishing and maintenance of DBpedia,
- how to find information, access, query and work with the DBpedia KG,
- the DBpedia infrastructure – the Databus platform and services
(Spotlight, Archivo, etc),
- how to replicate the DBpedia KG and infrastructure,
- how to use DBpedia in third-party applications and
- how to contribute and improve the DBpedia KG.

Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours this Tuesday, 2021-07-13, at 16:00-17:00 UTC (9am PT/6pm
CEST).
To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3] (You can do this after you join the meeting, too.), otherwise you are
welcome to also just hang out. More detailed information (e.g. about how to
attend) can be found here [4].
Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves more available to
answer some of the research related questions that you as Wikimedia
volunteer editors, organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in
your projects and initiatives. Some example cases we hope to be able to
support you in:
-
You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
in my wiki?
-
You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
harder to find an answer for during an office hour, however, discussing
them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
-
You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
of you interested more closely in this space.
-
You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].
Hope to see many of you,
Martin on behalf of the WMF Research Team
