Special Session
Artificial Intelligence and Digital Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities - ARTIDIGH 2020
22 - 24 February, 2020 - Valletta, Malta
Within the 12th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence - ICAART 2020
http://www.icaart.org/ARTIDIGH.aspx
SCOPE
With the help of artificial intelligence-powered services and tools the heritage sector is working towards the next level of access to and (re)use of digitized collections. In recent years libraries, archives and museums have started to apply machine learning and advanced knowledge bases to contextually enrich digitized objects, audio-visual content and texts and to make these retrievable in novel ways. In doing so institutions aim to increase the impact of their collections among a growing and diversifying audience. This special session welcomes papers that reflect upon, discuss and present the technical and societal challenges (e.g. labour to produce labeled datasets, heterogeneity of data, bias in training sets) digital heritage professionals and researchers are facing when trying to capitalise on the transformative power of artificial intelligence in the context of digital archive, image, and audio/visual collections. Next to position papers, we are also looking for papers in which project consortia discuss their approach and present first results.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Bias and digital collections
- Dealing with uncertainty, quality issues and collection gaps
- Multimodal collection access
- Geographic/spatial enrichment and access
- New ways of accessing collections such as associative and serendipitous search
- Network Analysis
- Natural Language Processing for the Heritage Domain
- Trend and change analysis
- Automatic collection provenance enrichment
- Reflections on the influence of AI on the heritage domain

REVIEW PROCESS
All reviews are based on submissions of full papers (not abstracts) following a double-blind process. All papers are subject to plagiarism analysis using a software tool prior to review.
All regular papers are reviewed by at least two reviewers, but usually by three or more, and rated considering their: Relevance, Originality, Technical Quality, Significance and Presentation;
The reviewers are also asked to answer a group of questions that may help the authors to improve the paper, should it be accepted, namely: Abstract and Introduction are adequate?, Needs more experimental results?, Needs comparative evaluation?, Improve critical discussion?, Figures are Adequate?, Conclusions/Future Work are convincing?, References are up-to-date and appropriate?, Paper formatting needs adjustment?, Improve English?
Finally, the reviewers can provide some free text observations which was given to the authors and also some free text private observations, made available only to the program chair. Conflicting reviews may require assignment of a new reviewer. In the end the program chairs decide. The author has a period for rebuttal, which triggers a workflow involving the chairs and the reviewers if necessary. All rebuttals are answered but decisions are final.
Position papers follow a similar process but the criteria used for classification are slightly different in order to account for the nature of these papers, i.e. speculative ideas and/or ongoing work not yet fully validated.
Authors can submit their work in the form of a Regular Paper, representing completed and validated research, or as a Position Paper, portraying work in progress or an arguable opinion about an issue.
Regular Papers
Submission: It is recommended that Regular Papers are submitted for review with around 8 to 10 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 13 pages will be automatically rejected.
Position Papers
Submission: Position Papers should be submitted for review with around 6 or 7 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 9 pages will be automatically rejected.

1. Call for Papers - Research Track
*******************************************
The research track of ESWC 2020 is looking for novel and significant research contributions addressing theoretical, analytical and empirical aspects of the Semantic Web. 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 research on the Semantic Web, and are expected to provide some principled means of evaluation. Specifically, all papers should include evaluations of the approaches described in the paper. We strongly encourage evaluations that are repeatable. We also strongly encourage papers that provide links to: the data sets, source code, queries and other resources.
Based on previous years submissions, this year we are setting up ten research tracks that reflect some of the main research areas of the Semantic Web and its intersection with other scientific disciplines:
* Ontologies and Reasoning

2. Call for Papers - Resources Track
*******************************************
Many of the research efforts in the areas of the Semantic Web,Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs focus on publishing scientific papers that prove a hypothesis. However, scientific advancement is often reliant on good quality resources that provide the necessary scaffolding to support the scientific publications. Sharing these resources and the best practices that have lead to their development with the research community is crucial, to consolidate research material, ensure reproducibility of results and in general gain new scientific insights.
The ESWC 2020 Resources Track aims to promote the sharing of resources including, but not limited to: datasets, ontologies, vocabularies, annotated corpora, workflows, knowledge graphs, evaluation benchmarks or methods, replication studies, services, APIs and software frameworks 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, including the provision of an open license and a permalink identifying the resource. 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:
* Ontologies developed for an application, with a focus on describing the modelling process underlying their creation;
* Datasets produced to support specific evaluation tasks or by a novel algorithm;
* Knowledge graphs or remarkable interest that comprehensively cover new vertical domains;
* Machine learning models that would impact the knowledge engineering community. Examples include comprehensive word embeddings trained on large corpora, or embeddings of commonly known knowledge graphs, such as DBpedia or Wikidata
* Descriptions of a reusable research prototype / service supporting a given research hypothesis;
* Descriptions of a dataset produced by a novel algorithm;
* Descriptions of community shared software frameworks that can be extended or adapted to support scientific study and experimentation;
* Benchmarking, focusing on datasets and algorithms for comprehensible and systematic evaluation of existing and future systems;
* Development of new evaluation methodologies, and their demonstration in an experimental study.

3. Call for Papers - In-Use Track
*******************************************
Semantic technologies are reaching maturity on and off the web. The In-Use track at ESWC 2020 provides a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technologies in concrete, practical applications, in contexts ranging from industry to government and science. We are especially interested in applications that use the emerging knowledge graphs or semantic annotations on the web together with data mining, machine learning, or natural language processing techniques to the benefit of concrete, real-life scenarios. We are also looking for descriptions of applied and validated industry solutions as software tools, systems or architecture that benefit from the adoption of semantic technologies.
Importantly, papers presenting applications in use of semantic technologies should provide 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 submission should be on the way semantics and semantic technologies are impacting this development, through benefiting the intended use case, as well as, if relevant, through the added challenges they introduce.
Topics of Interest:
We invite the submission of original papers organized around some of the following aspects:
* Description and analysis of concrete problems and user requirements for applying semantic technologies in a specific domain
* Descriptions of how Semantic Web resources (ontologies, datasets, software, standards, etc) are being used in practice
* Analysis and evaluation of usability and uptake of Semantic Web tools and technologies
* Scalability analysis and large scale deployment in real world scenarios
* Assessment of the pros and cons of using semantic technologies to solve a particular and practical problem
* Comparison of semantic technologies with alternative approaches that use conventional or competing technologies
* Learned lessons and best practices from deploying and using an application or service based on Semantic Web technologies
* Assessment of costs and benefits of implementing, deploying, using, and managing Semantic Web technologies
* Analysis of risks and opportunities of using Semantic Web technologies in organizations with respect to their businesses and customers
* Descriptions of alternative semantic technologies being deployed in practice
* Mobile apps based on semantic technologies that have substantial user base
* Applications in domain-specific areas such as Health & Life Sciences, Digital Libraries & Cultural Heritage, Media & Entertainment, Smart Cities, and Open Government

4. Call for Papers - Ph.D. Symposium
*******************************************
The ESWC 2020 Ph.D. Symposium is a forum for Ph.D. students working in all areas of Semantic Web research to present their work, meet with peers and experienced researchers, receive feedback, and learn from each other’s experiences. It aims at helping Ph.D. students in developing the skills and confidence required to conduct and promote their research, as well as providing them with an opportunity to attend one of the most important research conferences on the Semantic Web.
The ESWC Ph.D. Symposium will give students the opportunity to:
* Learn by constructive criticism: Established researchers and Ph.D. student advisors will provide constructive feedback to the submitted papers by means of an open and non-adversarial review process.
* Learn from a mentor: Each student of an accepted paper will be assigned to a mentor- a selected member of the programme committee. Students will interact with their mentors on both the revision of their papers and the preparation of their presentations.
* Learn about research: Doing good research goes beyond writing a good paper; it includes perspectives on research as an endeavour and a career. Besides the presentations, coffee breaks and the Ph.D. mentoring lunch will be used to exchange ideas and ask questions about all aspects of pursuing a Ph.D. and a research career in general.
* Learn by presenting: Accepted contributions will be presented at the Ph.D. Symposium. All accepted contributions will also be included at the general poster session of ESWC. Students’ posters will be presented alongside posters and demonstrations of the main conference.

Hi all,
Wikimedia Research Showcase [1] is almost six years old and we're
using the birthday opportunity to step back and reflect on the past,
celebrate the contributions by more than 70 speakers and many of you
who participated in the discussions, and plan for its future.
We would like to ask for your input as we're thinking about the future
of the Research Showcases. We want to hear from those of you who
participated in the showcases and/or watched them, as well as those of
you who decided this is not something for you. :) In order to gather
your input, we have put together a survey that we'd appreciate if you
participate in.
Link to survey (please note that the link will take you to Google
Forms [2]): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSecgn8cMu5IfTYRgn93bfOiJVEIL09RRf_…
Your contributions to this survey can help us in our thinking as we
move forward. Please submit your responses by 2019-11-22.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Morgan and Leila Zia
Research, Wikimedia Foundation

[2] If you want to participate but not through Google Forms, ping me
off-list and I'll send you a pdf file you can fill and send back to me
(it won't be anonymous though. sorry.). I'm not attaching it to this
email as some lists may put my email in the moderation queue with an
attachment. (And I don't /think/ I can upload it to Commons.)
Dear all,
personally I am quite happy that Denny can contribute more to Wikidata
and Wikipedia. No personal criticism there, I read his thesis and I am
impressed by his work and contributions.
I don't want to facilitate any conspiracy theories here, but I am
wondering about where Wikidata is going, especially with respect to Google.
Note that Chrome/Chromium being Open Source with a twist has already
pushed Firefox from the market, but now there is this controversy about
what is being tracked server side by Google Analytics and Client side by
cookies and also the current discussion about Ad Blocker removal from
Chrome:
https://www.wired.com/story/google-chrome-ad-blockers-extensions-api/
Maybe somebody could enlighten me about the overall strategy and
connections here.
1. there was a Knowledge Engine Project which failed, but in principle
had the right idea:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Engine_(Wikimedia_Foundation)
This was aimed to "democratize the discovery of media, news and
information", in particular counter-moving the traffic sink by Google
providing Wikipedia's information in Google Search. Now that there is
Wikidata, this is much better for Google because they can take the CC-0
data as they wish.
2. there are some very widely used terms like "Knowledge Graph" , which
seems to be blocked by Google: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q648625 and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Graph without a neutral point of
view like the German WP adopted:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google#Knowledge_Graph
3. I was under the impression that Google bought Freebase and then
started Wikidata as a non-threatening model to the data they have in
their Knowledge Graph
Could someone give me some pointers about the financial connections of
Google and Wikimedia (this should be transparent, right?) and also who
pushed the Wikidata movement into life in 2012?
Google was also mentioned in
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/10/30/wikidata-fifth-birthday/ but while
it reads "Freebase <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase>, was
discontinued because of the superiority of Wikidata’s approach and
active community." I know the story as: Google didn't want its
competitors to have the data and the service. Not much of Freebase did
end up in Wikidata.
As I said, I don't want to push any opinions in any directions. I am
more asking for more information about the connection of Google to
Wikidata (financially), then Google to WMF and also I am asking about
any strategic advantages for Google in relation to their competition.
Please don't answer with "How great Wikidata is", I already know that
and this is also not in the scope of my "How intertwined is Google with
Wikidata / WMF?" question. Can't mention this enough: also not against
Denny.
It is a request for better information as I can't seem to find clear
answers here.

Dear list,
I am experiencing unexpected problems with running Queries on FactGrid. (You find some sample queries here: https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/FactGrid:Projects) The error code is:
Can anyone make more sense of the information and how to handle it?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<h1>Proxy Error</h1>
<p>The proxy server received an invalid

If I have killed the application it was with an attempt to get given names with our (deprecated) string Property P88 - trying to get the names together with the respective P101 "place in sequence" qualifiers.

2. Call for Tutorials
*******************************************
ESWC 2020 invites tutorials that address the interests of its varied audience: people new to the Semantic Web, Semantic Web researchers and practitioners that wish to learn new technologies, users of Semantic Web technologies, and representatives of government and funding agencies as well as potential private investors in Semantic Web technologies. We welcome submissions of tutorial proposals on all major topics related to semantic technologies.
We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following types:
* Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to new semantic technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. Knowledge Graphs, semantic data integration, reasoning, question answering, ontology-based data access, ontology design principles, provenance and trust, etc.).
* Tutorials describing the application of semantic technologies in specific domains (e.g., life sciences, e-government, e-commerce, Industry 4.0, cultural heritage, education, mobile, music).
* Tutorials presenting techniques from other fields that are of relevance for Semantic Web research, including social sciences, digital humanities, biomedical research, HCI, Information Retrieval, databases, NLP, Internet of Things, data visualization, etc.
While tutorials may focus on theoretical topics, we encourage organizers to incorporate hands-on sessions. The tutorial should reach a good balance between the topic coverage and its relevance to the community.
Tutorials can be half-day or full-day.
We suggest having up to two presenters for half-day and up to four presenters for full-day tutorials, preferably from different institutions, contributing different perspectives to the tutorial topic.

Hi all,
I’m constantly encountering newspaper articles that have disappeared from Google and are no longer viewable or even discoverable via Google.
They are often the sole reference url for statements, yet are behind a paywall - notably newspapers.com.
How is the community handling the paywalling of historical newspaper resources?
Thank you.

Hello all!
Warning: this is fairly administrative, if you don't care about how work is
being tracked for Wikidata Query Service, just ignore this email!
For those of you who follow the work we do on Wikidata Query Service, you
might be using the Wikidata Query Service sprint board [1]. And you might
even have realized that this board is now empty. Don't worry, we have not
stopped working, quite the opposite. The tasks have been moved to the
Search sprint board [2].
The team in charge of WDQS is the "Search Platform team" (yes I know,
pretty bad name since we also take care of WDQS). We are trying to share
the responsibility of WDQS more across the team, which means that we have
people working both on search and on WDQS. Tracking everything on the same
board means less overhead for those people and more visibility for the
whole team about what's going on in the WDQS world.
Note that the WDQS backlog hasn't moved (yet) [3].
Thanks for reading!
