Over the last year, the DBpedia core team has consolidated great amount
of technology around DBpedia. This tutorial targets developers (in
particular of DBpedia Chapters) that wish to learn how to replicate
local infrastructure such as loading and hosting an own SPARQL endpoint.
A core focus will also be the new DBpedia Stack, which contains several
dockerized applications that are automatically loading data from the
DBpedia databus. The third tutorial will be held on December 8, 2020 at
17:30 CET and it will cover the following topics:
- Using Databus collections (Download)
- Creating customized Databus collections
- Uploading data to the Databus
- Using collections in Databus-ready Docker applications
- Creating dockerized applications for the DBpedia Stack

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.
http://www.imagesnippets.com
*
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.
(chaired by Milan Dojchinovski and Marvin Hofer from the DBpedia
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.

Dear all,
Due to current circumstances, the SEMANTiCS Onsite Conference 2020 had,
unfortunately, to be postponed till September 2021. To bridge the gap
until 2021, DBpedia, the Platform Linked Data Netherlands (PLDN) and
EuroSDR will organize a SEMANTiCS satellite event online, on October 6,
2020. We set up an exciting themed program around ‘Knowledge Graphs in
Action: DBpedia, Linked Geodata and Geo-information Integration’. This
new event is a combination of two already existing ones: the DBpedia
Community Meeting, which is regularly held as part of the SEMANTiCS, and
the annual Spatial Linked Data conference organised by EuroSDR and PLDN.
We fused both together and as a bonus, we added a track about
Geo-information Integration hosted by EuroSDR. For the joint opening
session, we recruited four amazing keynote speakers to kick the event off.

Hello!
I am glad to inform you that the French Wiktionary hosts the first
Wiktionarian in Residence [, 1], Sebleouf!
This is a full-time position for a year, starting 2020 January 1st, in a
university, to participate in a on-going project called ''Dictionnaire des
francophones'' [2], leaded by the Ministry of Culture of France. It's an
open RDF-based lexicographic database gathering resources on French, mostly
description of varieties outside of France. I am in charge of this project
at the university level, head of development, sort of. I was hired en
September 2018 because of my experience in Wiktionary and I convinced my
funder and Wikimedia France to co-fund a ''in residence'' with several
goals:
* Fix some old templates and document them to facilitate the reuse of
Wiktionary content.
* Enhance the content with regional markers for definitions used around the
world.
* Support the activities of the university and specifically the host, the
''Institut international pour la Francophonie'' [International institute
for Francophonie], a compound of Université Lyon 3, based in Lyon, France.
And finally, some words about our great Wiktionarian in Residence.
[[User:Sebleouf]] is one of the most prolific and meticulous contributor of
French Wikipedia, a Commonist, an Open Food Facts board member, and more.
I am glad he accepted this challenge, and to have him as a colleague. He
will contribute with a dedicated account, [[User:Seb en Résidence_(2IF)]]
[3].
We plan to do some reports but we may not translate them all in English in
the sake of time.
If you have any question, feel free to ask me or him!
