Gibt/gab es in Deutschland in letzter Zeit eine Konferenz oder Unkonferenz rund um #LinkedData #RDF #SemanticWeb?
Wenn ja: Bitte antworten und boosten.
Wenn nicht oder nicht bekannt: Bitte abstimmen und boosten.
Weder noch: Bitte boosten ;)!
Ein Barcamp rund um diese Themen…
EU institutions are probably the biggest (if not only) ongoing believers of the #semanticweb and related #linkeddata technologies such as OWL ontologies etc.
The logic behind the use of such tools is as impeccable as ever (quote: enables systems and services to exchange and interpret data meaningfully) but history (rather, bigtech centralization) decided otherwise.
Whether the push for a #eurostack will bring those ideas back into the mainstream remains to be seen.

One of the central topics discussed in today's first ISE 2025 lecture is "Knowledge". How can we define knowledge? How does it differ from data, information, or wisdom? How does the process of "understanding" work? Welcome to "The Art of Understanding", which is the title of this lecture...

The wait is over! #76: Shiny Objects that People Like to Chase is out!
@kito99, @dhinojosa, and Ian start out the new year with #WebAssembly, #SemanticWeb, and #AI guru @bsletten. They talk about #WebAssembly, #LLMs, edge computing, and open source hardware. The crew also discusses how theory of mind relates to #AGI, #DeepSeek, #OpenWeb, #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, Interplanetary File System (#ifs), and more. https://www.pubhouse.net/podcast/title-shiny-objects-that-people-like-to-chase/
I wonder how #hashtags would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a #language with strongly marked cases.
If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '#Pilzen', because '#Pilzen' is a different hashtag from '#Pilze'. Let alone #Pilzes and #Pilz.
Would we tag things with #SemanticWeb URIs?

Hey HTML and Semantic Data nerds!
What's the "best" markup for a Table of Contents?
I'm guessing a <nav> holding a <ul> with lots of <li>?
I can't find any Schema.org metadata for explicitly saying "this is a table of contents".
>> Twenty-five years ago I was part of an effort… to develop a standard environment for the exchange of business documents called #ebXML. It was an open-standards internet follow-on to #EDI. … an environment in which all the actual business transactions were between machines, without the need for human…
Then, @timbl and #W3C invented the #SemanticWeb and #OWL reasoners, which I can't help but see as a precursor to the current AI push, and a continuation of that way of thinking
Very happy to have Heleen Wilbrink and Annelot Vijn from Utrecht Archives in our (online) Journal Club today taking about recent projects related to Records in Context (RiC-O) and Persons in Context ontologies as well as on transkribus-based HTR, LLM-based post processing and information extraction.

Calling #DigitalHumanities as well as all academics working with data models:
Do you know of other ontologies at the whim of the US administration?

Today marks a major milestone for cultural heritage: Linked Art 1.0 is officially released! 
This specification (data model and API) provides museums, libraries, and archives with a standardised way to share and connect their collections data, built on standards.
Proud to see major institutions already adopting Linked Art (Yale, Rijksmuseum, Getty, National Gallery of Art) which makes cultural heritage data more discoverable, accessible, and connected.

>> #LLMs don't think now, nor will they ever.
Mathematically impossible:
"from the perspective of the disciplines needed to create such an agent, namely mathematics and physics, these properties are realizable by neither implicit nor explicit mathematical design nor by setting up an environment in which an #AI could evolve spontaneously"
I follow his work on #SemanticWeb and #OWL, and this paper by #BarrySmith is worth a read. Also published as a book.

#Thanks for the #interview, joining #lambdaMOO, #writing https://sarilho.net/en/ #webcomic and explaining the #semanticWeb to us!
O Sarilho turns out to mean The Troubles in Portuguese

Thanks everyone!
Good news! I will be co-organizing the Knowledge Graph for Sustainability workshop @kg4s again at @eswc_conf, in Portoroz, Slovenia. We will soon announce the deadline and launch the 2025 website. Anyway, you can start preparing your submission. I am looking forward to see you in June!
"An archaeology of #knowledgegraphs and their mutation from the liberatory aspirations of the #semanticweb gives us an underexplored lens to understand contemporary #informationsystems. I explore how the ideology of cloud systems steers 2 NIH & NSF projects intended to build info #infrastructures for the #publicgood to inevitable corporate capture, facilitating the development of a new kind of multilayered public/private #surveillance system."

The Semantic Web was supposed to bring a meaningful, intelligent internet. Instead, we got brute-force AI, passing off probability as insight and filling the web with shallow, recycled content. The future could be profound, but for some reason some are opting for the fast and destructive path. Thanks, I hate it. #SemanticWeb #AI https://tarakiyee.com/the-future-is-meaningless-and-i-hate-it/
