Congratulations to Md Rashad Al Hasan Rony for successfully defending his PhD thesis 🎓 „Advancing Knowledge-Enhanced Conversational Systems Leveraging Language Model“ today! 🎉 The thesis contains interesting approaches for integrating knowledge graphs into language models such as knowledge attention mechanisms and adding special Transformer input layers. It also contains a new metric for evaluating generative knowledge-grounded systems. 👍 Individual papers are here:

We surveyed reusers about what types of ontology issues they are facing when building applications with data from Wikidata. The results are in now: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Ontology_issues_prioritization#Results_of_the_survey_on_ontology_issues_reusers_are_facing

Die Sächsische Staatsregierung hat die „#OpenSource-Strategie der Sächsischen Staatsverwaltung“ im Kabinett beschlossen. Damit stärken wir die digitale Souveränität in Sachsen und unterstützen das Prinzip #PublicMoneyPublicCode 💪

Ich freue mich riesig, dass es diese Strategie jetzt gibt, die auf meine Initiative hin entstanden ist. Lest meinen ausführlichen Bericht ⬇️ Dort findet ihr auch den Link zur Strategie.

Sunday 30 April was the 30th anniversary of the release of the Web into the public domain, for general use, and at no cost. Coralie Mercier noted that this quiet gesture, was advocated by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee and has changed our lives.

We’re organizing an academic workshop at #SEMANTiCS2023 in Leipzig the 20th of September. At that workshop, we are bringing together researchers and practitioners who want to build #MobilityDataSpace, to ease data integration in e.g., ticketing solutions or route planners.

Interested in contributing? There are various ways in which you can (↓), as long as you submit it through easychair before the first of July!

#sem4tra23

A recurring #LinkedData / #RDF question: In German, French and many other languages, names for roles, occupations etc. encode the genus/(grammatical) gender, e.g. "Autor"/"Autorin" for "author". Lots of controlled vocabularies contain such roles. Is there a best practice to mark different labels (m, f, gender-neutral) in RDF, especially #SKOS?

Die #DataWeekLeipzig2023 geht in die nächste Runde und wir präsentieren stolz unser neues Logo - wir freuen uns über den neuen Look! https://2023.dataweek.de/ #dataweek #leipzig

Save the Date - Wir sind stolz darauf, ankündigen zu können, dass der diesjährige #LSWT2023 Teil der @DataWeekLeipzig sein und am 28. Juni stattfinden wird. Weitere Details finden Sie auf unserer Veranstaltungsseite. http://bit.ly/3IyYwYV #LSWT #SemanticWeb #Leipzig

#SemanticWeb peeps: What are your {favorite | most compelling} ways to _demonstrate_ #KnowledgeGraphs? How do you _visualize_ what they bring to the table?
