by Sebastian Hellmann 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Apologies for cross-posting Dear all, Due to current circumstances, the SEMANTiCS Onsite Conference 2020 had, unfortunately, to be postponed till September 2021. To bridge the gap until 2021, DBpedia, the Platform Linked Data Netherlands (PLDN) and EuroSDR will organize a SEMANTiCS satellite event online, on October 6, 2020. We set up an exciting themed program around ‘Knowledge Graphs in Action: DBpedia, Linked Geodata and Geo-information Integration’. This new event is a combination of two already existing ones: the DBpedia Community Meeting, which is regularly held as part of the SEMANTiCS, and the annual Spatial Linked Data conference organised by EuroSDR and PLDN. We fused both together and as a bonus, we added a track about Geo-information Integration hosted by EuroSDR. For the joint opening session, we recruited four amazing keynote speakers to kick the event off. # Quick Facts - Web URL:https://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/KnowledgeGraphsInAction - When: October 6, 2020 - Where: The conference will take place fully online. # Highlights - Hackathon (starts 2 weeks earlier) - Keynote by Carsten Hoyer-Klick, German Aerospace Center - Keynote by Marinos Kavouras, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) - Keynote by Peter Mooney, Maynooth University - Keynote by Krzysztof Janowicz, University of California - Spatial Linked Data Country Session - DBpedia Chapter Session - Self Service GIS Session - DBpedia Member Showcase Session # Registration - Attending the conference is free.

Wikipedia Citations: A comprehensive dataset of citations with identifiers extracted from English Wikipedia
by Giovanni Colavizza 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Dear all, we have recently released a dataset which might be of interest to some of you. Wikipedia Citations contains the nearly 30M citations to be found in English Wikipedia (as of May 1st 2020), of which approx. 4M are to scientific publications. Most of these 4M have also been equipped with identifiers (ISBN, DOI, etc.). All code is there for replication and updates. Pre-print: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.07022 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.07022> Data and code: https://zenodo.org/record/3940692#.XyQjaPj7SL8 <https://zenodo.org/record/3940692#.XyQjaPj7SL8> We welcome feedback, ideas for collaboration and any question you might have in order to use the dataset for your research and work. Best regards, Giovanni Colavizza (with Harshdeep Singh and Bob West)

Pilot project on Wikimedia gaps: looking for a research assistant
by Heather Ford 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

Hi all, We are looking for someone with data visualisation experience to help us with a new pilot research project investigating gaps in coverage of Wikimedia in Australia (see ad below). We have received a small amount of money by UTS to run this pilot while we wait on the results of a proposed for a much larger project. The pilot will probably only be a few days work but there may be more work down the line. We would love to hear from anyone interested in working with us on this! Please email me if interested. Best, Heather. *Data visualisations expert * Heather Ford <http://hblog.org>, Head of Digital and Social Media at UTS <https://www.uts.edu.au/future-students/communication/digital-and-social-med…> in Sydney and Tamson Pietsch, Head of the Centre for Public History at UTS <https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/australian-centre…>along with collaborators, Wikimedia Australia <https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Wikimedia_Australia> (including Pru Mitchell and [[User:99of9|Toby Hudson]]) are involved in a project to analyse Wikipedia’s scope and progress over the past twenty years (relating to Australia and possibly globally). We are looking for someone to help us to develop a series of visualisations for a pilot project. This will involve extracting data about en.wp.org <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/QNnXCJyBPjFg0KzMhv8Did?domain=protect-au.…> articles (either from Wikipedia or via Wikidata) and comparing it to another dataset (possibly *https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/search <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/PMNTCGv097U2jAlXcQ_ELf?domain=honours.pmc…>)*, cleaning and coding data and, importantly, visualising the data using mapping and other visualisation tools. This is a pilot project with resources for a few days work which we would ideally like to happen over the next month. Experience with Wikimedia data analysis is a plus. Please contact Heather for more information or to express interest. --------------------------- Dr Heather Ford Associate Professor and Head of Discipline (Digital and Social Media <https://www.uts.edu.au/future-students/communication/digital-and-social-med…> ) School of Communication <https://www.uts.edu.au/future-students/communication/about-communication/we…>, University of Technology, Sydney <https://www.uts.edu.au/> (UTS) w: hblog.org / t: @hfordsa <http://www.twitter.com/hfordsa>

Wikipedia citations from worldwide patents - New results/data
by cyril verluise 24 Jul '20

24 Jul '20

Hello all, I am new to the wikipedia researcher community, so I hope that I'm not mis-using this list. *PatCit* Together with Pr. G. de Rassenfosse <http://www.gder.info/>, we are working on an open-source project to extract, parse and consolidate worldwide Patent citations. This is PatCit, and you can learn more about it on the project GitHub <https://github.com/cverluise/PatCit> and in this short presentation <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11COlz64EZn8PipXvnDBBZI_bnDD0fpm6tyx…> . *Patent to wiki citations* Specifically, we found ~100k wiki citations (with a large majority of wikipedia articles) stemming from worldwide patents. We have parsed these citations (item, date, url, hostname) and made the dev table publicly available on BigQuery (see fp_wiki_dev <https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery?project=npl-parsing&p=npl-parsing…>). A short presentation of this specific work is available here <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fX7rS4oRXQAZFDuqxSES7XpJp-2rZyKR9nH…> . *We need you!* Since we are new to the wikipedia research questions, we are looking for feedback, discussion, etc on how to make these data a true asset for the community. The project is thought to be by and for the community and we are deeply committed to open-source/access and FAIR principles. The overarching objective of the project is to stimulate interdisciplinary research to help better understand the various forms and dynamics of innovation. Happy for feedback, discussion,etc. Feel free to send us an email.
