Has anyone started exploring what a Wikibase/Wikidata translated into
RDF-star might look like?
Querying Wikidata can sometimes be a bit mind-bending, because you often
need to reference qualifiers to get the right results, which means having
to switch through the various namespaces that statements get decomposed
into (like p: ps: pq: wd: wdt: etc). It's hard to keep them all straight!
Is there any hope that RDF-star/SPARQL-star will make querying easier?
(I'm setting aside the question of 'will Blazegraph ever support RDF-star',
and just pretending that the Blazegraph-or-replacement issue gets magically
solved)

Call for papers: African Journal of Research in Computer Science and
Applied Mathematics (ARIMA) Special Issue on:
*Data Intelligibility, Business Intelligence, and Semantic Web*
The Data revolution is a reality in our ever-evolving world. Some authors
tend to say that “*Data is the new oil*”. This is also true in Africa which
is one of the first continents with an increased number of users connected
to the internet. At the same time, there are many challenges in the
continent such as how to tackle some aspects of the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG). Data-driven solutions combined with Artificial Intelligence
techniques, as well as Semantic Web technologies can foster the development
of emergent and intelligent solutions and applications.
In this special issue, we hence welcome articles with a focus on solving
real-world issues in the African context or that can be reproducible to
Africa and that (1) deal with data intelligibility (2) Artificial
intelligence and Business Intelligence and (3) Semantic Web applications
and use cases. A focus of the special issue will be on using data-driven
solutions applied to solve African problems or at least demonstrate
reproducibility in the African context.
The target topics of this issue include (but are not limited to):
● Data privacy and regulation
● Data acquisition and conversion
● Big data integration and alignments
● Data Storage and Validation
● Ontology Engineering
● Data Management Lifecycle
● Knowledge Representation
● Graph structures
● Business intelligence
● Visualization
● Applied Artificial Intelligence
● NLP, Deep Learning and Machine Learning
● Real-life applications and use-cases (IoT, Bioinformatics,
healthcare, Statistics, agriculture, logistics and manufacturing, Social
Network Analysis, etc.)
*Deadline*
● Submission deadline: *August 31, 2021*.
Papers submitted before the deadline will be reviewed upon receipt and any
paper will be published online as soon as it is accepted.
*Author Guidelines*

The Sixteenth International Workshop on
ONTOLOGY MATCHING
(OM-2021)
http://om2021.ontologymatching.org/
October 25th, 2021,
International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) Workshop Program,
VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web,
as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks
dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies
as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of
correspondences between the semantically related entities of those
ontologies.
These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology
merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge
graphs.
Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed
with the matched ontologies to interoperate.
The workshop has three goals:
1.
To bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions
to assess how academic advances are addressing real-world requirements.
The workshop will strive to improve academic awareness of industrial
and final user needs, and therefore, direct research towards those needs.
Simultaneously, the workshop will serve to inform industry and user
representatives about existing research efforts that may meet their
requirements. The workshop will also investigate how the ontology
matching technology is going to evolve, especially with respect to
data interlinking, knowledge graph and web table matching tasks.
2.
To conduct an extensive and rigorous evaluation of ontology matching
and instance matching (link discovery) approaches through
the OAEI (Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative) 2021 campaign:
http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2021/
3.
To examine similarities and differences from other, old, new and emerging,
techniques and usages, such as web table matching or knowledge embeddings.
This year, in sync with the main conference, we encourage submissions
specifically devoted to: (i) datasets, benchmarks and replication studies,
services, software, methodologies, protocols and measures
(not necessarily related to OAEI), and (ii) application of
the matching technology in real-life scenarios and assessment
of its usefulness to the final users.
TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
Business and use cases for matching (e.g., big, open, closed data);
Requirements to matching from specific application scenarios (e.g.,
public sector, homeland security);
Application of matching techniques in real-world scenarios (e.g., in
cloud, with mobile apps);
Formal foundations and frameworks for matching;
Novel matching methods, including link prediction, ontology-based
access;
Matching and knowledge graphs;
Matching and deep learning;
Matching and embeddings;
Matching and big data;
Matching and linked data;
Instance matching, data interlinking and relations between them;
Privacy-aware matching;
Process model matching;
Large-scale and efficient matching techniques;
Matcher selection, combination and tuning;
User involvement (including both technical and organizational aspects);
Explanations in matching;
Social and collaborative matching;
Uncertainty in matching;
Expressive alignments;
Reasoning with alignments;
Alignment coherence and debugging;
Alignment management;
Matching for traditional applications (e.g., data science);
Matching for emerging applications (e.g., web tables, knowledge graphs).

UTC–4 / EDT
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
