CfP: Challenges at ESWC 2016
by Heiko Paulheim 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Apologies for cross-posting ======================================================== 13th ESWC 2016 http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/call-challenges Call for Semantic Web Challenges Entries Open Knowledge Extraction (OKE) Challenge Challenge on Semantic Sentiment Analysis Conference Live app Challenge Open Challenge on Question Answering over Linked Data Top-K Shortest Path in Large Typed RDF Graphs Challenge Semantic Publishing Challenge schema.org - Bonus Challenge ======================================================== OVERVIEW The 13th ESWC, to be held from May 29th to June 2nd in Heraklion, Crete, features no less than seven challenges this year! The purpose of the challenges is to showcase the maturity of state of the art methods and tools on tasks common to the Semantic Web community and adjacent disciplines, in a controlled setting involving rigorous evaluation. Semantic Web Challenges are an official track of the conference, ensuring significant visibility for the challenges as well as participants. Challenge participants are asked to present their submissions as well as provide a paper describing their work. The details of the submissions may vary per challenge and will be found in the individual calls. These papers must undergo a peer-review by experts relevant to the challenge task, and will be published in the official ESWC2016 Satellite Events proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES Individual challenges may deviate from these dates but as a rule the following dates apply: * Training data ready and challenges Calls for Papers sent: Friday January 15th, 2016 * Challenge papers submission deadline: Friday March 11th, 2016 * Challenge paper reviews due: Tuesday April 5th, 2016 * Notifications sent to participants and invitations to submit task results: Friday April 8th, 2016 * Test data (and other participation tools) published: Friday April 8th, 2016 * Camera ready papers due: Sunday April 24th, 2016 CHALLENGES AT A GLANCE Open Knowledge Extraction (OKE) Challenge The OKE challenge, launched as first edition at last year Extended Semantic Web Conference, ESWC2015, has the ambition to provide a reference framework for researc on Knowledge Extraction from text for the Semantic Web by re-defining a number of tasks (typically from information and knowledge extraction), taking into account specific SW requirements. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/eswc-16-open-knowledge-extraction-oke-chal… Challenge on Semantic Sentiment Analysis Social media evolution has given users one important opportunity for expressing their thoughts and opinions online. The information thus produced is related to many different areas such as commerce, tourism, education, health and causes the size of the Social Web to expand exponentially. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/eswc-16-challenge-semantic-sentiment-analy… Conference Live app Challenge In the past two years the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) has provided a semantic Web application to browse conference data. The application, called Conference Live, is a Web and mobile application based on conference data from the Semantic Web Dog Food server, which provides facilities to browse papers and authors at a specific conference. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/eswc-16-conference-live-app-challenge 6th Open Challenge on Question Answering over Linked Data (QALD-6) The past years have seen a growing amount of research on question answering over Semantic Web data, shaping an interaction paradigm that allows end users to profit from the expressive power of Semantic Web standards while at the same time hiding their complexity behind an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. The Question Answering over Linked Data challenge provides an up-to-date benchmark for assessing and comparing systems that mediate between a user, expressing his or her information need in natural language, and RDF data. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/6th-open-challenge-question-answering-over… Top-K Shortest Path in Large Typed RDF Graphs Challenge The advent of SPARQL 1.1 introduced property paths as a new graph matching paradigm that allows the employment of Kleene star * (and it's variant +) unary operators to build SPARQL queries that are agnostic of the underlying RDF graph structure. The ability to express path patterns that are agnostic of the underlying graph structure is certainly a step forward. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/top-k-shortest-path-large-typed-rdf-graphs… Semantic Publishing Challenge 2016 – Assessing the Quality of Scientific Output in its Ecosystem This is the next iteration of the successful Semantic Publishing Challenge of ESWC 2014 and 2015. We continue pursuing the objective of assessing the quality of scientific output, evolving thedataset bootstrapped in 2014 and 2015 to take into account the wider ecosystem of publications. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/assessing-quality-scientific-output-its-ec… schema.org - Bonus Challenge Rather than create a separate schema.org challenge, we encourage where appropriate submissions to other ESWC2016 challenges to consider also exploring schema.org's relationship with Linked Data and Semantic Web tools, technologies, vocabularies and datasets. http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/bonus-challenge CONTACT ESWC 2016 Challenge Chairs * Stefan Dietze, L3S Research Center, Germany (dietze(a)l3s.de) * Anna Tordai, Elsevier, Netherlands (a.tordai(a)elsevier.com) -- Prof. Dr. Heiko Paulheim Data and Web Science Group University of Mannheim Phone: +49 621 181 2661 B6, 26, Room C1.09 D-68159 Mannheim Mail: heiko(a)informatik.uni-mannheim.de Web: www.heikopaulheim.com

Sourcerer / Sourcery (was: Re: Mix'n'match tool catalogues data)

Hi Magnus, >> >I was aware of the Sourcerer tool: I'm concerned with those references >> >coming from Wikipedia articles though, since they stem from inside a >> >Wikimedia project, and I want to make sure that everything comes from >> >the outside. >> > > The Sourcerer references do NOT come from Wikipedia!

Basically, what you want to do, > on the cheap;-) Whoops, sorry, I was probably confused by: 1. the Sourcerer **user script** [1], which claims to "get a list of all external links from all language editions of Wikipedia for an item"; 2. the **Sourcery** tool [2], which claims to load "all URLs in all associated Wikipedia pages". So, third-party references indeed, but still curated by Wikipedians, right? That's what I meant, I should have been more specific in my concern. Is it correct that the Sourcerer **bot** is a different thing, or am I getting this completely wrong?

Reliable sources list validation for StrepHit
by Marco Fossati 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi everyone, The curated list of biographical sources for StrepHit has now passed the objective of 40 items [1]. Your help in validating the list is essential to ensure the reliability of the corpus that will be collected upon it. In practice, are the sources: 1. *reliable* (cf. [2])? 2. *third-party*, i.e., not created by users of Wikimedia projects? I kindly ask you to answer those questions in the discussion page of [1]. Cheers, Marco [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Va… [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources

CfP: International Workshop on Completing and Debugging the Semantic Web (CODES 2016)
by Heiko Paulheim 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

CoDeS 2016 International Workshop on Completing and Debugging the Semantic Web May 29 or 30, 2016 Heraklion, Greece http://www.ida.liu.se/~patla00/conferences/CoDeS16/ co-located with ESWC 2016 (http://2016.eswc-conferences.org/) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Developing ontologies and Semantic Web data sets is not an easy task and, as the ontologies and data sets grow in size, they are likely to show a number of defects (wrong information as well as omissions). Such ontologies and data sets, although often useful, also lead to problems when used in semantically-enabled applications. Wrong conclusions may be derived or valid conclusions may be missed. Further, during the recent years, more and more mappings both between ontologies as well as entities in the Linked Open Data cloud have been generated, e.g., using ontology alignment and/or entity linking systems, forming a linked network of data sets and ontologies. This has led to a new opportunity to deal with defects, as links between datasets and ontologies may be exploited for debugging, or the interlinks between them. On the other hand, it also has introduced a new difficulty as the mappings may not always be correct and need to be debugged themselves. Also the linked data level may contain wrong information and omissions in the data as well as the links. Defects can take different forms. Syntactic defects are usually easy to find and to resolve. Defects regarding style include such things as unintended redundancy. More interesting and severe defects are the modeling defects which require domain knowledge to detect and resolve such as defects in the structure, and semantic defects such as unsatisfiable concepts and inconsistent ontologies. Topics of interest This workshop intends to be a forum where issues related to completing and debugging the Semantic Web are discussed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * detecting and repairing defects in ontologies * detecting and repairing defects in linked data * detecting and repairing defects in mappings * debugging and completing ontology networks and modular ontologies * ontology alignment and repair of alignments * justifications, belief revision, ontology patterns for debugging * user support for ontology debugging and completion * visualization and user interfaces for debugging and completion * case studies Important dates * Submission: March 4, 2016 * Notification: April 1, 2016 * Camera-ready: April 15, 2016 * Workshop: May 29 or 30, 2016

StrepHit domain + sources selection (was Re: [REMINDER] StrepHit IEG project kick-off seminar)
by Marco Fossati 25 Jan '16

Hi Daniel, Thanks for getting in touch and for the useful information. After 2 rounds of feedback from the community via StrepHit's dissemination activities, I have opted for the biographical domain. Cf. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/StrepHit:_Wikidata_Statements_Va… The biomedical domain is next in line: while it is out of scope for the project time frame (6 months), I believe it will be an excellent use case in case of an extension.

Allow multiple links to one wikidata item from a wiki

Wikidata is broken. It has allsorts of kludges to link items to the items they should be in. Lets merge all these Categories, lists, duplicate articles in a different language etc. with the items they should have been part of from the beginning. (Normal rules apply - If you were to describe the Subject of each using properties could they be the same properties) We now have the tool to fix the wikibase client problem - Badges! If duplicates have suitable badges then wikibase client can use these to keep the language links. wikibase client will also be able to add other lists "articles on the wiki in other languages" for instance joe
