Dear all,
after the very successful panel on "20 years into ISWC: What's next
beyond Knowledge Graphs?", the Distributed Knowledge Graphs (DKG) COST
Action [1,2] organizes a talk series in collaboration with SWSA [3] on
aspects related to the Semantic Web research. On *Tuesday 7th December
at 18.00 CET** Ora Lassila will give a talk "On the broad applicability
of Semantic Web technologies". I include the talk's abstract here but
you can also find more information as well as the link to the online
stream before the talk starts at

Ora Lassila: "On the broad applicability of Semantic Web technologies"
About the talk: The Semantic Web, despite how it was originally
advertised, was not a replacement for the World Wide Web, nor was it
really knowledge representation (KR) solely for the Web. Rather, the
Semantic Web is KR using Web technologies. The different technologies
and standards of the Semantic Web have broad applicability in many areas
distinctly outside of what we consider to be the “Web”. The DAML-S
(later OWL-S) effort was one such example: apply ontologies to the
problem of describing the semantics of functionality and services (in
this case Web services, but the concept was more general). While the
effort may not have been successful in the long term, it was an early
example of the application of Semantic Web technologies and approaches
to a wide variety of use cases and domains. These include agent-based
computing, ubiquitous computing, context-awareness, policies, privacy,
enterprise knowledge graphs, and many others. But there is still an even
bigger role for Semantic Web technologies: Modern enterprise data
practice is messy, with daunting problems such as data integration,
elimination of “data silos”, and alignment of semantics. This
“messiness” will be perpetuated until we have a practical unifying
logical representation for data and semantics, and the promise of
Semantic Web is that it could be this representation.
Kind regards,
Anastasia
