Was Michelangelo really a turtle?
This question will be solved by the research task force of @lysander07 who is presenting this LLM question answering and Information Extraction task, in which the reliability of LLMs applied on historical documents will be analysed.

LLMs are starving for knowledge graphs. Raphael Troncy was pointing out that many LLM company crawlers are constantly visiting their KGs. Some crawlers even perform explicit SPARQL queries on the KGs.
Excellent keynote in the #SemDH2025 workshop by Laura Hollink on Cultural Bias in Linked Open Data. Laura is addressing all bias related aspects in cultural heritage items itself, in the data representing it, the data schemata, vocabularies, and ontologies on which the data are based, as well as in the knowledge representation languages used to create the schemata.

"Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else", but how to do this with Linked Data? Eero Hyvönen is quoting Leonardo Da Vinci as an intro to his presentation "How to Create a Portal for Digital Humanities Research Using a Linked Open Data Cloud of Cultural Heritage Knowledge Graphs: Case SampoSampo"

Introducing the article "Grounding the Development of an Ontology for Narrative and Fiction" by Luca Scotti et al.
1/ Formal ontologies can deeply enrich how we model and analyze narratives and fiction. But before developing a model that can be applied for the creation of a database, a solid conceptual foundation is needed.
This week's #DigitalHistoryOFK: Riham Aida Mokrani presents "Manuscript Meets Model: Digital Approaches to Arabic #Paleography" - exploring how #OntologyEngineering & #ML are transforming Arabic #ManuscriptStudies.

I like the grand idea of subscribing to URL paths, for networked decentralized distribution of #linkeddata chunks. I would love to see it used for collections of #semanticweb data relevant to me, my city, my trade.

Appendix: Thoughts on ATproto and the “push-based internet”
"The fact that the model matches the OG internet means you can expose the same data over HTTP for people who’d rather pull. Giving each record an identity (in the form of a path) is also just very useful in itself.
...
The pull-based internet has HTTP. The push-based internet has made do with RSS for a long time. A new, more capable standard could be a great development."
