Hello, Wiktionary community!
My name is Daniel Bogre Udell and I'm a co-founder at Wikitongues, a
non-profit organization and international volunteer community dedicated to
defending linguistic diversity. We're building the world's first public
archive of every language in the world, and counting some very enthusiastic
Wikimedians among our ranks, we're excited to announce that we've submitted
a proposal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikitongues_Poly_Feature_Set…>
for
this upcoming round of Wikimedia Project Grants to support Poly, an open
source platform for sharing and learning languages.
Poly stands to improve the language content for both Wiktionary and
Wikivoyages by creating a broader network of language content aggregation.
Through it, the breadth of these projects will be expanded and their
language accuracy improved. Furthermore, in gaining access to new language
communities working with Wikitongues, Wikipedia stands to benefit from the
incubation of new language editions.
We're eager for community feedback, so if you think there are more points
of alignment between Poly and Wiktionary, please let us know in the
project's discussion section
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Project/Wikitongues_Poly_Featur…>
.
Finally, if you believe this project to be worthwhile, we would be honored
to have your endorsement, which you can enter in the project's Endorsements
section
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikitongues_Poly_Feature_Set…>.
We would also greatly appreciate it if you can spread the word among your
fellow Wikimedians.
Thank you very much!
Warmly,
Daniel Bogre Udell

Oggetto: [Wikidata] Let's move forward with support for Wiktionary
Data: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 15:17:26 +0200
Mittente: Lydia Pintscher
Hey everyone :)
Wiktionary is our third-largest sister project, both in term of active
editors and readers. It is a unique resource, with the goal to provide
a dictionary for every language, in every language. Since the
beginning of Wikidata but increasingly over the past months I have
been getting more and more requests for supporting Wiktionary and
lexicographical data in Wikidata. Having this data available openly
and freely licensed would be a major step forward in automated
translation, text analysis, text generation and much more. It will
enable and ease research. And most importantly it will enable the
individual Wiktionary communities to work more closely together and
benefit from each other’s work.
With this and the increased demand to support Wikimedia Commons with
Wikidata, we have looked at the bigger picture and our options. I am
seeing a lot of overlap in the work we need to do to support
Wiktionary and Commons. I am also seeing increasing pressure to store
lexicographical data in existing items (which would be bad for many
reasons).
Because of this we will start implementing support for Wiktionary in
parallel to Commons based on our annual plan and quarterly plans. We
contacted several of our partners in order to get funding for this
additional work. I am happy that Google agreed to provide funding
(restricted to work on Wikidata). With this we can reorganize our team
and set up one part of the team to continue working on building out
the core of Wikidata and support for Wikipedia and Commons and the
other part will concentrate on Wiktionary. (To support and to extend
our work around Wikidata with the help of external funding sources was
our plan in our annual plan 2016:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2015-2016_round1/Wikim…)
As a next step I’d like us all to have another careful look at the
latest proposal at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary/Development. It has
been online for input in its current form for a year and the first
version is 3 years old now. So I am confident that the proposal is in
a good shape to start implementation. However I’d like to do a last
round of feedback with you all to make sure the concept really is
sane. To make it easier to understand there is now also a pdf
explaining the concept in a slightly different way:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_for_Wiktionary_announcemen…
Please do go ahead and review it. If you have comments or questions
please leave them on the talk page of the latest proposal at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Wiktionary/Development/Proposal….
I’d be especially interested in feedback from editors who are familiar
with both Wiktionary and Wikidata.
Getting support for Wiktionary done - just like for Commons - will
take some time but I am really excited about the opportunities it will
open up especially for languages that have so far not gotten much or
any technological support.
Cheers
Lydia

Hi all,
I am thrilled to announce the official creation of the *Wiktionary
Tremendous Group* !
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary/Wiktionary_Tremendous_Group
It arose from seeds planted at Wikimania, a month ago and it aims to be a
common place *to make Wiktionaries better*, share our productions and
thoughts about technological developments. We can also organize events
together such as conferences and LexiSession, a fancy way to *contribute
together* to the same topic during a short period of time. In August, we
suggest focusing on cat
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary/LexiSession>! Another main goal
is to increase our network with the other wiki projects.
So, if this interests you, you are very welcome! We want multilingual
discussions as much as possible, but my English is not very natural, so
feel free to correct any mistake you see. Also, I am very inexperienced
with team management and I have no idea how to make this project more
attractive. I think a nice logo would be cool, but suggestions are welcome!
It will be cool, so please join!
Noé, French Wiktionary user

¡Hola!
Estoy muy feliz de avisarles de la creación del *Tremendo grupo de
Wikcionario*.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary/Wiktionary_Tremendous_Group/es
Ese grupo sera una iniciativa para impulsar una dinámica nueva por los
Wikcionarios, incluyendo todas las comunidades! Sera un espacio donde
podríamos compartir ideas cada uno en su lengua, compartir el material como
pantallas o libretos, y organizar eventos. Un primer paso sera LexiSesión,
un tema mensual para contribuir juntos y explorar un campo semántico en
varias lenguas. En agosto empezamos con el *gato*.
Ustedes están bienvenido para participar en las discusiones, que sea
también proponiendo un logo, verificar mi traducción al castellano,
mencionar ese grupo a sus amigos o en donde se debería hacer. Voy a
intentar de traducir bien en castellano, pero se va necesitar un poco de
apoyo a la vez. Tengo planificado de traducir mas paginas y de mostrar las
cosas buenas que tenemos en francés ahora, como nuestro resultado de 2015,
una lista de competencias de los contribuidores de Wikcionarios, una
cartilla de presentación y mas! Espero que ustedes serán interesado por esa
dinámica!

The Vocabulary Carnival at SEMANTiCS 2016 is a unique opportunity for
vocabulary publishers to showcase and share their work, meet the growing
community of vocabulary publishers and users, and build useful semantic,
technical and social links.
*When?* The Vocabulary Carnival is part of the SEMANTiCS programme with
the Carnival Minute Madness on the 13th of September and on the
industrial marketplace.
*What kind of vocabularies do we expect?*
*
*Any kind!* For this event we use a very open definition of what a
vocabulary is. Ontologies, classifications, thesauri, concept and
metadata schemes, whatever their format, in RDF or not, are all welcome.
*
*Bootstrap your new Vocabulary project:* At the carnival you can
present your ideas and early stage vocabs to find the right people
to get the Vocab discussion going. We require at least a project web
site.
*What is your benefit of submitting?*
*
*attention*: make people aware of your work
*
*feedback*: a room full of other vocabulary creators will guarantee
expert feedback
*
*linking*: discover links from your vocabulary to others on-site
*How to submit your Vocabulary to the Carnival?*
1.
Make sure your vocabulary is accessible on the Web through a public URI.
2.
Communicate your intention to participate at
_https://goo.gl/mV3VpZ_ by joining and posting your vocabulary
link and writing “See you at the Carnival in Leipzig” or send an
email to monika.solanki(a)cs.ox.ac.uk , with subject “Vocabulary
Carnival”.
3.
Register to
SEMANTiCS:<http://2014.semantics.cc/www.semantics.cc/registration/index.html>_http://2016.semantics.cc/registration/_
<http://2014.semantics.cc/www.semantics.cc/registration/index.html>
4.
Submissions will be handled on a *first come, first serve basis*
*Are there any technical requirements?*
Your vocabulary submission will be evaluated in accordance to the
following criteria:
*
*Reusability* - Which vocabularies and/or ontology design patterns
have been reused in its development? Has it been mapped, aligned,
imported within other ontologies yet? If not, where do you foresee
potential reuse?
*
*Value addition* - How does the vocabulary provide value addition
for the intended project or domain as compared to previous efforts
and to Semantic Web in general?
*
*Design and Technical quality* - how do the ontologies incorporate
best practices in design, i.e., using ontology design patterns or
extending from upper level ontologies?
*
*Documentation* - does the vocabulary provide both human and machine
readable documentation using for e.g., rdfs:label, rdfs:comment and
HTML documentation?
*
*Availability*: We expect your vocabulary (terminology, taxonomy,
ontology, etc.) to be hosted on the Web at a persistent URI (PURL,
w3id, ODI) and with an appropriate licence specification. If it is
not Linked Data or uploaded
to<http://lov.okfn.org/>_http://lov.okfn.org_ <http://lov.okfn.org/>
you can get technical help and advise at the conference.
*
*Usage*: Which academic/industrial projects have adopted the
vocabulary? Which datasets have been annotated using the vocabulary?
*At the SEMANTiCS 2016 Conference:*
*
Prepare a poster (max format A0) presenting your vocabulary:
description, purpose, history and link to its publication page. Your
description of the vocabulary must include the above criteria.
*
Present your poster in the dedicated space at SEMANTiCS conference.
*
Brace yourself to participate in the Vocabulary Minute Madness,
where every vocabulary will have one minute to convince of its
usefulness and quality. Sporting your vocabulary colors at this
occasion is optional, but will be much appreciated.
*
An independent jury will select the best vocabulary poster and
presentation.
*Vocabulary Carnival and LOV*
*
If your vocabulary is already recorded
at<http://lov.okn.org/>_http://lov.okn.org_ <http://lov.okn.org/>,
check its record to see if everything is OK. Ping the LOV curators
if something is missing or inaccurate, or if you brush up a brand
new version for the Carnival. If you think your vocabulary is
LOV-able but not yet recorded, submit its URI
at<http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/suggest/>_http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/suggest/_
*
If your vocabulary is not yet meeting the technical requirements to
be included in LOV, and you wish it could, we can help you to
achieve that during the Carnival.
*About the Vocabulary Carnival*
The Vocabulary Carnival will be hosted at the SEMANTiCS conference, Sep
12-15 2016

Description
=======
BLINK will provide a forum where topics related to the evaluation
(included, but not limited to the performance, accuracy, expressive
power and usability) of Linked Data Technologies for different steps of
the Linked Data lifecycle can be discussed and elaborated upon.
Linked Data now part of the new data economy and Big Linked Data is
gaining in use and traction. Systems are constantly being developed in
order to support the booming exchange of data (existing in numerous
formats) in the Web and the Enterprise. Linked Data benchmarks can
function as valuable tools to objectively depict and illustrate the
level of adequacy and thus performance provided by the existing Linked
Data systems.
This workshop aims to bring together a broad range of attendants
interested in benchmarking Linked Data and aims at identifying the
specific needs and challenges of the domain in order to foster
interdisciplinary collaborations towards attaining these challenges.
More specifically the objectives of this workshop are to:
create a discussion forum where researchers and industrials can meet and
discuss topics related to the performance of Linked Data systems and
expose and initiate discussions on best practices, different application
needs and scenarios related to Linked Data management.
Topics of Interest
===============
We welcome contributions presenting experiences with benchmarking Linked
Data technologies as well as technical contributions regarding the
development of benchmarks for all aspects of the Linked Data/Big Data
lifecycle. All domains (e.g., life science, social networks, smart
cities, news, digital forensics, e-science and geo-spatial data
management) are welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Linked Data benchmarks
* Novel benchmarking results
* Analysis of existing benchmarks
* Novel measures for benchmarking Linked Data
* Linked Data benchmark evaluation
* Complex benchmarking pipelines
* Application of benchmarks in academic/industrial settings
* Tools and methodologies for the linked data generation and
acquisition, analytics and processing, storage and curation,
visualization and data access.
This series of workshops are supported by H2020 European Project HOBBIT
(Holistic Benchmarking of Big Linked Data), see http://project-hobbit.eu/.
Paper Submission
===========
The workshop will accept two types of submissions: short papers (8
pages) will be either position papers or describe early works in the
area of benchmarking. Long papers (up to 16 pages) will describe
benchmarks, benchmarking techniques or benchmarking results along the

Introduction
What kind of smart applications can we build, if we were able to
integrate all available knowledge, data and language resources in a
meaningful way? In order to realize the dream of artificial
intelligence, it is necessary to focus on knowledge engineering to build
information machines that enable humans to perform more efficiently in
their tasks. To achieve this goal, we believe the following two
prerequisites must be met:
* Knowledge and data must be rendered in a discoverable way and then
transformed, linked, enriched and integrated homogeneously in a huge
semantic knowledge graph
* Language technologies must first be leveraged in order to understand,
categorize and structure available textual content in all its forms.
Then, language technology must assist in building adequate interfaces
that allow humans to interact effectively with data and information via
discovery, querying and reorganization.
Research in this workshop focuses on contextualising data and ontologies
as well as capturing deep linguistic knowledge to improve machine
understanding.
Purpose and scope
Some international initiatives such as the LIDER European project
(www.lider-project.eu <http://www.lider-project.eu> ) and the W3C OntoLex, BPMLOD, and LD4LT community
groups, as well as the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) Working Group
for Open Data in Linguistics (OWLG), have promoted an ecosystem of
linguistic linked open data (LLOD)
One of the main motivations of this workshop is to move the LLOD cloud
to its next phase in which innovative applications will be developed
overcoming the language barriers on the Web.
The KÉKI workshop is targeted at anyone interested in Semantic Web,
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing technologies and we are
especially welcoming submissions focussing on either domain topics or
technological topics or both.
Domain Topics
* Data related to Linguistics and NLP:
** language resource such as, but not limited to: corpora, treebanks, dictionaries and lexicographical resources
* Linguistic and NLP Ontologies
** proposals for novel models or extension of existing models such as lemon, NIF, POWLA, MARL, NERD
* Linguistic linked open data
** metadata, license issues, indexes, collections, repositories, workflows that deal with Linguistic LOD as a whole
* Web services and tools ingesting or producing linguistic linked data and annotations
Technological Topics
* Knowledge Integration
** Vocabularies and Models for integrating resources (and Ontology Engineering)
** Dataset metrics and quality assessment
** Query federation and question answering
** Metadata for linked data knowledge
** Discoverability of data
* Knowledge Extraction
** NLP techniques for knowledge extraction and machine reading
** Information extraction and ontology learning
** Pattern recognition and extraction for IE
** Resources and use cases
** Approaches using mappings and their maintenance from structured
sources (RDB, XML, JSON), from semistructured sources (XHTML), from
unstructured sources (Text)
Submission Guidelines
