Apologies for cross-posting.
This is a kind reminder about the weekly Google Hangout to prepare for
the LIDER Hackathon in Leipzig (Sept 1st).
The preparation Hangouts will happen each Tuesday at 2pm Leipzig time
until the event.
Links to join can be found here:

You are still able to submit topics for hacking. Please add them to this
document:

or send an email to Bettina Klimek <klimek(a)informatik.uni-leipzig.de>
Currently we have the confirmed topics below. Furthermore we have
experts available that will help you to get in touch with Linked Data
and RDF and help you to bring your own tools to the Semantic Web world.
T7: [Confirmed] Roundtrip conversion from TBX2RDF and back
The idea of this is to work on a roundtrip conversion from the TBX
standard for representing terminology to RDF and back. The idea would
be to build on the existing code at bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/vroddon/tbx2rdf
Potential industry partner: TILDE (Tatiana)
Source code: https://bitbucket.org/vroddon/tbx2rdf
TBX Standard: http://www.ttt.org/oscarstandards/tbx/

T8: [Confirmed] Converting multilingual dictionaries as LD on the Web
The experience on the creation of the Apertium RDF
<http://linguistic.linkeddata.es/apertium/>dictionaries will be
presented. Taking as starting point a bilingual dictionary represented
in LMF/XML, a mapping into RDF was made by using tools such as Open
Refine <http://openrefine.org/>. From each bilingual dictionary three
components (graphs) were created in RDF: two lexicons and a translation
set. The used vocabularies were lemon <http://lemon-model.net/>for
representing lexical information and the translation module
<http://linguistic.linkeddata.es/def/translation/>for representing
translations. Once they were published on the Web, some immediate
benefits arise such as: automatic enrichment of the monolingual lexicons
each time a new dictionary is published (due to the URIs ruse), simple
graph-based navigation across the lexical information and, more
interestingly, simple querying across (initially) independent dictionaries.
The task could be either to reproduce part of the Apertium generation
process, for those willing to learn about lemon and about techniques for
representing translations in RDF, or to repeat the process with other
input data (bilingual or multilingual lexica) provided by participants.

T9: [Confirmed] Based on the NIF-LD output of Babelfy we can try to
deploy existing RDF visualizations out of the box and query the
output with SPARQL
Babelfy <http://babelfy.org/>is a unified, multilingual, graph-based
approach to Entity Linking and Word Sense Disambiguation. Based on a
loose identification of candidate meanings, coupled with a densest
subgraph heuristic which selects high-coherence semantic
interpretations, Babelfy is able to annotate free text with with both
concepts and named entities drawn from BabelNet
<http://www.babelnet.org/>’s sense inventory.
The task consists of converting text annotated by Babelfy into RDF
format. In order to accomplish this, participants will start from free
text, will annotate it with Babelfy and will eventually make use of the
NLP2RDF NIF module <http://site.nlp2rdf.org/>. Data can also be
displayed using visualization tools such as RelFinder
<http://www.visualdataweb.org/relfinder/relfinder.php>.

Dear colleagues and fellow enthusiast of the semantic web,
we are pleased to announce that the SEMANTiCS conference on Sep 4-5,
2014 in Leipzig, will become a major industry conference on semantic web
and linked data applications in Europe.
With partners such as PoolParty, STI2, Eccenca, IntraFind, LOD2 Project,
MarkLogic, Ontos and Wolters Kluwer as well as more than 50% of our
currently registered attendees being from the industry sector, SEMANTiCS
has lifted the primarily academic topic of semantic web to the next
level of business application.
From our keynote speakers Sofia Angeletou (BBC), Thomas Kelly
(Cognizant), Phil Archer (W3C) and Orri Erling (OpenLink) to 40+
speakers on 5 parallel tracks and special events like the vocabulary
carnival, H2020 networking event and conference dinner, SEMANTiCS offers
a wide variety of industry insights and networking chances. You can see
our programm here: http://www.semantics.cc/programme/
Hence, this year's SEMANTiCS conference is your chance to get in touch
with potential business clients and industry partners to push your own
projects and developments in the semantic web sector.
You can still submit to the Vocabulary Carnival:
http://www.semantics.cc/vocarnival/ as well as the H2020 networking
session. Furthermore, we will collect and print your H2020 organisation
profile description in the program guide, so you can be approached at
the conference for potential projects.
Being a fellow enthusiast in this future-defining field, we'd like to
offer you a special discount of 20% on your ticket to the conference.
Simply go to www.semantics.cc/registration/discount and claim your
discount with the following promo code: “semantic-web-fellow”
This offer is valid until 15th of August.
For further information on the programme and our keynote speaker, please

Feel free to forward this email to any interested fellow.
See you in Leipzig,
Sebastian Hellmann
on behalf of the all conference committee members
