[CfP] ISWC 2018 - Call for Papers (Main Tracks & DC)
by Maribel Acosta 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

17th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2018) Monterey, California (USA), October 8-12, 2018 This is an announcement of the ISWC 2018 call for papers. Upcoming deadlines (Main Tracks): paper abstract (March 30), paper submission (April 06) Website: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/InternationalSemanticWebConference Twitter: @iswc2018 (https://twitter.com/iswc2018) Important dates: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/important-dates/ In this announcement: 1. Call for Papers: Main Tracks 2. Call for Papers: Doctoral Consortium 1. Call for Papers: Main Tracks ========================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Research Track Papers -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Semantic Web Conference is the premier venue for presenting fundamental research, innovative technology, and applications concerning semantics, data, and the Web. In this track of ISWC 2018, we are looking for novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of the Semantic Web. While we welcome work that relates to the W3C Semantic Web recommendations (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL, etc.), we also encourage contributions to research at the intersection of Semantic Web and other scientific disciplines. Submissions to the research track should describe original, significant, and replicable research on the Semantic Web. All papers must include method evaluations that are rigorous, repeatable and reproducible. This will be one of the key paper reviewing criteria. We also strongly encourage papers that provide links to the data sets, source code, queries used to evaluate their approach, and/or live deployments. All papers will be assessed by a program committee. Each paper will be reviewed by at least four committee members, including one senior member. The review criteria used are outlined below. Before submitting, authors are asked to consult the calls of the other tracks featured at ISWC 2018 and to choose the track that best suits their contribution. The submission of the same work to multiple tracks is not allowed and may result in a rejection of the work across all tracks without a review. Detailed info: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/call-for-research-track-papers/ Program Chairs * Denny Vrandecic, Google, USA * Kalina Bontcheva, University of Sheffield, UK -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for In-Use Track Papers -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since their debut in the scientific community at the break of the millennium, Semantic Web technologies have moved from being adopted in small-scale academic prototypes to being employed in real-world settings in industry and governments at different scales. The “In Use” Track at ISWC’18 continues the tradition of demonstrating and learning from the increasing adoption of Semantic Web technologies outside the boundaries of research institutions, by providing a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying these technologies in concrete, practical applications, in contexts ranging from industry to government and science. Therefore, we are looking for descriptions of applied and validated solutions such as software tools, systems or architectures that benefit from the use of Semantic Web technologies (including, but not limited to, ontologies, Linked Data, knowledge representation languages). Importantly, submitted papers should provide convincing evidence that there is use of the proposed application or tool by the target user group, preferably outside the group that conducted the development. A main focus of the submissions should be on the benefits of Semantics Web technologies for the intended use case, as well as, if relevant, on the added challenges they introduce. Before submitting to the In-Use Track, authors are asked to consult the calls of the other tracks featured at ISWC 2018 and to choose the track that best suits their contribution. The submission of the same work to multiple tracks is not allowed and may result in a rejection of the work across all tracks without a review. Detailed info: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/call-for-in-use-track-papers/ Program Chairs * Irene Celino, Cefriel, Italy * Marta Sabou, Technical University of Vienna, Austria -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Resources Track Papers -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources are of paramount importance as they foster scientific advancement. For example, the DBpedia resource had a major influence on the Semantic Web community by enabling the Linked (Open) Data movement. Validating a research hypothesis or providing answers to a research question often goes together with developing new resources that support these achievements. These resources include, among others, datasets, benchmarks, workflows, and software. Sharing them is key to allow other researchers to compare new results, reproduce experimental settings and explore new lines of research, in accordance with the FAIR principles for scientific data management. Yet, resources themselves rarely get the same recognition as the scientific advances they facilitate. The ISWC 2018 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources including, but not restricted to: datasets, ontologies, vocabularies, ontology design patterns, evaluation benchmarks or methods, services, APIs and software frameworks, workflows, crowdsourcing task designs, protocols and metrics, that have contributed to the generation of novel scientific work. In particular, we encourage the sharing of such resources following best and well established practices within the Semantic Web community. This track calls for contributions that provide a concise and clear description of a resource and its usage. A typical Resource track paper has its focus set on reporting on one of the following categories of resources: * Datasets produced: to support specific evaluation tasks; to support novel research methods; by novel algorithms; * Ontologies, vocabularies and ontology design patterns, with a focus on describing the modelling process underlying their creation; * Benchmarking activities focusing on datasets and algorithms for comprehensible and systematic evaluation of existing and future systems; * Reusable research prototypes / services supporting a given research hypothesis; * Community shared software frameworks that can be extended or adapted to support scientific study and experimentation; * Scientific and experimental workflows used and reused in practical studies; * Crowdsourcing task designs that have been used and can be (re)used for building resources such as gold standards and the like; * Protocols for conducting experiments and studies; * Novel evaluation methodologies and metrics, and their demonstration in an experimental study. Detailed info: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/call-for-resources-track-papers/ Program Chairs * Valentina Presutti, STLab-ISTC, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – Rome, Italy * Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa, OEG (Ontology Engineering Group), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main Track: Important Dates for Paper Submissions -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: March 30, 2018 Full papers due: April 6, 2018 Author rebuttals: May 7-11, 2018 Notifications: May 25, 2018 Camera-ready papers due: June 15, 2018 All deadlines are midnight Hawaii time. 2. Call for Papers: Doctoral Consortium ========================================== The ISWC 2018 Doctoral Consortium will take place as part of the 17th International Semantic Web Conference in Monterey, California in the USA. This forum will provide PhD students an opportunity to share and develop their research ideas in a critical but supportive environment, to get feedback from mentors who are senior members of the Semantic Web research community, to explore issues related to academic and research careers, and to build relationships with other Semantic Web PhD students from around the world. The Consortium aims to broaden the perspectives and to improve the research and communication skills of these students. The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Generally, students in their second or third year of PhD will benefit the most from the Doctoral Consortium. In the Consortium, the students will present their proposals and get specific feedback and advice on how to improve their research plan. All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a thorough reviewing process with a view to providing detailed and constructive feedback. The international program committee will select – submissions for presentation at the Doctoral Consortium. Students with accepted submissions at the Doctoral Consortium will be eligible to apply for travel fellowships to offset some of the travel costs but they will be asked to attend the whole day of the Doctoral Consortium. Detailed info: http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/call-for-doctoral-consortium-papers/ Program Chairs * Sabrina Kirrane, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria * Lalana Kagal, MIT CSAIL, USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doctoral Consortium: Important Dates for Submissions -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doctoral Consortium submissions: April 13, 2018 Doctoral Consortium notifications: May 14, 2018 Doctoral Consortium camera-ready submissions: May 28, 2018 All deadlines are midnight Hawaii time.

About Wikidata's lexicographical data
by abdelwaheb turki 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your efforts. As I already said in AICCSA 2017 conference, Lexicographical data will be very useful for Natural Language Processing tasks. I will have the great honour to present the project with Ms. Lydia Pintscher in Wikimania this year as I am quite working on this topic. However, there is a little problem to solve. Some of the data that will be represented in Wikidata's Lexicographical data will be common nouns such as the name of birds, trees, animals, fruits... Such information already exists in Wikidata as labels to Wikidata entities (Q). I ask if it is possible to match these labels with their corresponding lexemes (L) and the entities (Q) with their corresponding senses (S). This will be very useful to let lexicographic data grow quickly and automatically. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki

WDQS updater switched to Kafka
by Stas Malyshev 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hi! This morning we have switched the polling mechanism for Wikidata Query Service from using Recent Changes API to using Kafka events (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventBus). This should improve reliability of the updates and reduce load on Wikidata servers. Given that we are putting more data into Wikidata and more servers for SPARQL services, having a scalable update mechanism is important, and that's what we are doing with Kafka updater. If everything works well, you should not notice any change at all. So far, we have inspected it in action for a few days and it seems to be working fine. However, since the functionality is new, it is possible that some bugs exist. The bugs might manifest themselves in certain new edits not being reflected in Wikidata Query Service data. If you notice this happening, please tell me (preferably via Phabricator ticket specifying the details of the problem, but if it doesn't work for you you can email me or ping me on IRC or on Wiki: Smalyshev_(WMF)). Thanks, -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev(a)wikimedia.org

11 days left to submit proposals for Wikimania 2018
by Léa Lacroix 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hello all, As every year, the call for submissions for Wikimania 2018 <https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania> is running, and the deadline for talks, workshops and posters is *March 18th*. We hope that the Wikidata community will be well represented in the program and in the attendees. This year, the system of submission goes through OpenChair, therefore the submissions will not be public. You won't be able to check other Wikidata-related submissions. So if you plan to submit something, I encourage you to *describe your idea on Wikidata:Wikimania 2018 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2018>*. On this page, you can also see the ideas of other people, and suggest your help for one of them. Here are a few ideas that have been suggested by the development team, where we would love to support volunteers: SPARQL workshop for beginners, SPARQL workshop for confirmed users, how to model lexicographical data for your language, explaining the community processes on Wikidata, showing useful tools around Wikidata... When you do your submission through the official process <https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions>, feel free to also edit Wikidata:Wikimania 2018 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2018> and add your idea into the *"proposals submitted" section*. That will help the other editors to avoid duplicates. Last but not least, I also added a section "I'm attending" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2018#I%27m_attending_to_Wi…>, to have an overview of who from the Wikidata community will attend to Wikimania this year. Please register here if you already know (even if you're waiting for scholarship result for example). This list can also help you find more volunteers to run a workshop or participate to a discussion. Thank you very much, -- Léa Lacroix Project Manager Community Communication for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

About OCLC and DBpedia Links
by Ettore RIZZA 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Dear all, I asked myself a series of questions about the links between Wikidata and other knowledge/data bases, namely those of OCLC and DBpedia. For example: - Why Wikidata has no property "Worldcat Identities <http://worldcat.org/identities/>" while the English edition of Wikipedia systematically mentions this identity (when it exists) in its section "Autorithy control" ? - Why do VIAF links to all editions of Wikipedia, but not (simply) to Wikidata ? - Why is there no link to DBpedia when the opposite is true ? These questions may seem very different from each other, but they ultimately concern a common subject and are all very basic. I suspect they had to be discussed somewhere, maybe at the dawn of Wikidata. However, I find nothing in the archives of this Newsletter, nor in the discussions on Wikidata. Could someone point me to some documentation on these issues ? Cheers, Ettore Rizza
