Hi Markus, thanks for helping out. Actually, I know the traffic on this list very well. My rationale for posting here was two-fold:

1. Wikipedia and other Wiki projects (e.g. Wiktionary, Wikitravel, ...)

provide some of the few *open* and *multilingual* data sets. 2. People on this list are the ones that are developers who maintain these data sets and might be interested in a place to publish their development work and try linked data.

I agree with you, however, that this list is not a 100% match, if you only account for the "topic". I had the feeling however, that it reaches the right people. Nevertheless, we will not post to this list further. It would be nice, if you could send John McCrae and me some alternative lists. We couldn't think of a better one yet, except for Wikidata and wiki-research-l (With wiki-research-l also not being a perfect match).

Sure, I see what you mean. Still there are *so many* calls for papers these days. Many of them would have a relationship to wikitech on a similar level (all database conferences and journals, anything with geo data, anything about community analysis, studies on HCI, analysis of big textual corpora, ...). Yet, I think that the people who are interested in writing and publishing academic papers are also members of other mailing list where you can easily reach them (anybody who publishes papers based on the calls sent to wikitech is bound to have a very narrow view of the publication landscape). For example, I also got your call through three other lists.

Cheers,

Markus

Thanks again and all the best, Sebastian

Sebastian,

I don't think it is appropriate to post such calls here. This list is not about any of the topics that your email or the linked web page refers to. You can have a look at the wikitech-l archives to see what kind of communication this list is used for.

Best regards,

Markus

Dear all, please find attached the call for a Special Issue on Multilingual Linked Open Data (MLOD) 2012. Continuing the great success of the MLODE 2012 workshop[1], we welcome novel submission until *Nov 23rd* to this special issue of the Semantic Web Journal.

We also produced a new version of the LLOD cloud image as a result of the workshop: http://linguistics.okfn.org/resources/llod We will produce another one after the publication of the special issue.

Hoi, It is a matter of perspective. If Wikidata is to really serve Wikipedia well, it is a multilingual project. This should go without saying.

Just to clarify: my comment was not about the cross-post of this message to the wikidata list, but about the one sent to wikitech.

I was really appreciative of his particular call because it underlines exactly this. Multilinguality is not a part of the next phase of the info boxes that is immediately obvious, to me this is a real disappointment. It may make it easier to develop and at the same time it makes the relevancy so much less.

I disagree with you that Wikidata does not cover multilingual data, but that seems to be a topic for the wikidata list.

Cheers,

Markus

Thanks, Gerard
