technology leaders in the area of Knowledge Engineering. Additional
tracks can be proposed until Sep 14th, please contact
dbpedia-events(a)infai.org <mailto:dbpedia-events@infai.org>.
*
timbr SQL Knowledge Graph: Learn how to model, map and query
ontologies in timbr and then model an ontology of GDELT, map it to
the GDELT database, and answer a number of questions that currently
are quite impossible to get from the BigQuery GDELT database. Cash
prizes planned. https://www.timbr.ai/
*
GNOSS Knowledge Graph Builder: Give meaning to your organisation’s
documents and data with a Knowledge Graph.
https://www.gnoss.com/en/products/semantic-framework
*
ImageSnippets: Labeling images with semantic descriptions. Use
DBpedia spotlight and an entity matching lookup to select DBpedia
terms to describe images. Then explore the resulting dataset through
searches over inference graphs and explore the ImageSnippets dataset
through our SPARQL endpoint. Prizes planned.

Diffbot: Build Your Own Knowledge Graph! Use the Natural Language
API to extract triples from natural language text and expand these
triples with data from the Diffbot Knowledge Graph (10+ billion
entities, 1+ trillion facts). Check out the demo
http://demo.nl.diffbot.com/. All participants will receive access to
the Diffbot KG and tools for (non-commercial) research for one year
($10,000 value).
# Dutch National Knowledge Graph Track
Following the DBpedia FlexiFusion approach, we are currently
flexi-fusing a huge, dbpedia-style knowledge graph that will connect
many Linked Data sources and data silos relevant to the country of the
Netherlands. We hope that this will eventually crystallize a
well-connected sub-community linked open data (LOD) cloud in the same
manner as DBpedia crystallized the original LOD cloud with some
improvements (you could call it LOD Mark II). Data and hackathon details
will be announced on 21st of September.
# Improve DBpedia Track
A community track, where everybody can participate and contribute in
improving existing DBpedia components, in particular the extraction
framework, the mappings, the ontology, data quality test cases, new
extractors, links and other extensions. Best individual contributions
will be acknowledged on the DBpedia website by anointing the WebID/Foaf
profile.

Association & InfAI and the DBpedia Hacking Committee)
# DBpedia Open Innovation Track
(not part of the hackathon, pre-announcement)
For the DBpedia Spring Event 2021, we are planning an Open Innovation
Track, where DBpedians can showcase their applications. This endeavour
will not be part of the hackathon as we are looking for significant
showcases with development effort of months & years built on the core
infrastructure of DBpedia such as the SPARQL endpoint, the data, lookup,
spotlight, DBpedia Live, etc. Details will be announced during the
Hackathon Final Event on October 5.

Stay tuned and stay safe!
