“Harnessing the Power of DBpedia: Transforming Data into Knowledge”

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the ability to efficiently access, understand, and manipulate data is paramount. DBpedia stands at the forefront of this revolution, offering an unparalleled repository of structured knowledge extracted from Wikipedia, making it an indispensable resource for industry practitioners and technology innovators alike. This workshop is designed to introduce you to the vast capabilities of DBpedia and its suite of technologies that are reshaping how we interact with the world’s knowledge.

DBpedia offers a structured knowledge base derived from Wikipedia – the DBpedia knowledge graph – serving as a critical resource for industries seeking to enhance data analysis, integration, and application development. Over the last 15 years, DBpedia has grown into a huge ecosystem of data and tools that are now accessible via the powerful DBpedia Databus. During the workshop the participants will learn how to navigate and manipulate the DBpedia ecosystem to not only access a global knowledge base but also to enrich their own datasets and applications with semantics and links.

The session aims to equip practitioners with the skills to effectively use DBpedia for enriching their data infrastructure, enabling advanced data interlinking and semantic web applications. Through hands-on examples and industry-focused scenarios, attendees will explore how to extract, manipulate, and leverage linked data from DBpedia to address specific business and research needs. This workshop provides a practical introduction to DBpedia, focusing on its core technologies including RDF data modeling and ontologies, SPARQL querying, entity recognition with DBpedia Spotlight, and RDF conversion techniques. Level: beginner to intermediate. 

Using the DBpedia Databus, we will cover:

1. Host your own data on the Databus (.txt, .csv, .json, .rdf, .nt)*.
2. Transform and link your data to RDF.
3. Build a joint Knowledge Graph combining your data plus DBpedia (plus other Linked Data sets).
4. Deploy an application on top (Ontology-based search, Triple Store, Graph explorer, etc.).

* Bringing your own data is optional. Data can also be supplied by us.

Requirements:

• Laptop
• Docker needs to be installed and running on the laptop.
• Basic knowledge in a programming or scripting language (e.g. Python, Java, Scala, Bash).
• Main language is English (but individual help can be provided in German).

This year’s topic

Linking and Consumption of Linked Data

Since 2007, DBpedia has been the hub of the Linked Open Data Cloud, the largest constantly updating knowledge graph on Earth using Linked Data principles.
By following the 62 million links published alongside the 6.5 million identifiers of the DBpedia Snapshot (https://www.dbpedia.org/blog/dbpedia-snapshot-2022-03-release/), our users could discover and consume more data from the web. Now in 2022, 15 years after the first release, we developed a way to scale up our identifier base into the billions to provide the glue for better linking and consumption of linked data.  The main topics of the DBpedia Day will be twofold:

1. We would like to ask our industrial and academic members as well as the wider community to present the latest technology to discover, query, link, curate and consume Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs. If you would like to present at the DBpedia Day, please email us at dbpedia@infai.org.

2. We will introduce the Linkmaster 3000 (the new Open Online Link Curation Platform), the Global LD API, the Databus and the Global LD Browser to gather feedback.

The post DBpedia Day @ Semantics 2022 appeared first on DBpedia Association.

We are creating a meeting place and scientific network around DBpedia for scientific exchange – the DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium – where junior and senior researchers can establish relations and collaborations and exchange ideas and knowledge. Thus, we aim to manifest a scientific community as a driver for DBpedia and Linked Data and expect synergies and network effects that will greatly improve scientific output by the involved community members. The DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium will be held on the third day of the week-long Data Week Leipzig 2022 event (July 4-8, 2022).

The Format

The DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium consists of the following highlights:

• A senior researcher starts the symposium by giving insights into their experience on “what makes a good PhD”.
• Several PhD students will present their thesis and topics. On the one hand, they will receive feedback and on the other hand, the symposium participants will gain insight 1) on how they structure and define their PhDs, 2) on what the current trends are and 3) on potential connecting A dedicated poster session where all PhD participants can bring their poster and discuss with the audience during the coffee breaks. Please contact the organizers if interested in presenting a poster!
• A community session, where we discuss how to organize the research network around DBpedia.
• In the afternoon we will walk through the city center of Leipzig and also visit the LivingLab at the University of Leipzig. In the evening we will meet in a nearby pub and discuss the PhD topics of the day.

Submission of presentations

We are looking for presentations within the broader scope of the knowledge engineering field. From knowledge extraction, integration and curation, to knowledge publishing, quality assurance and knowledge exploitation in AI solutions. Each PhD presenter will receive a 30 minutes slot which includes 20 minutes for presentation of the research topic and 10 minutes for questions, feedback and discussion.

The aim of the DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium is to provide an opportunity to PhD students to present their PhD-related work-in-progress and receive feedback on their current work. In an open, supportive and non-confrontational environment the students will present their thesis in relation to the state-of-the-art, the identified gaps, addressed challenges, considered methods for exploitation, datasets for validation, and the overall evaluation approach. The colloquium will help PhD students to strengthen and shape their work as they progress towards their PhD degree. Moreover, the colloquium is a great opportunity to build a network of peers for their future career. The ultimate objective of the colloquium is to promote excellence in PhD research in the knowledge engineering field.

The post DBpedia Knowledge Engineering PhD Symposium appeared first on DBpedia Association.

The survey of our last tutorial at KGC’21 revealed that the audience was particularly interested in using DBpedia in industry use cases, demos as well as tools. As a consequence we decided to organize a new tutorial that is less focused on research driven topics and instead added more use-cases and practical examples which are demonstrated in hands-on live demo sessions. Additionally we show how to deploy the technology stack and services to be used on private / local infrastructure.

The aim of this tutorial is, from a practical perspective, to explain in detail the DBpedia technology stack and its deployment on a customer infrastructure. The tutorial will also explain in detail the generation and release process of the DBpedia KG. In a real-world use case we will illustrate the use of the DBpedia KG and DBpedia technology stack in combination with proprietary data. Hands-on sessions will be organized to intternalize the DBpedia technology stack with practice.

During the course of the tutorial the following topics will be studied:

• DBpedia Knowledge Graph in the nutshell
• DBpedia Technology Stack
• Deployment of the DBpedia on corporate infrastructure
• Real-world use case an application of the DBpedia tech

Altough the tutorial will be shaped in a way that no specific prerequisites will be required, the participants would benefit if they have some background knowledge in Semantic Web concepts and technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL), general overview of the Web Architecture (HTTP, URI, JSON, etc.) and basic programming skills (bash, Java, JavaScript). All required software and tools will be provided and they will be freely available for the participants. Instructions for the hands-on-sessions will be provided in advanced.

The DBpedia Knowledge Graph Tech Tutorial 2.0 will be held on May 2, 2022 at 3:00-6:00pm CEST.

The post DBpedia Tutorial 2.0 @ KG Conference appeared first on DBpedia Association.

Topic and relevance
The main topic of this tutorial is the DBpedia community project which is centered around the DBpedia Knowledge Graph, the DBpedia Infrastructure and the DBpedia Services. DBpedia is one of the oldest, most prominent and successful knowledge engineering projects which aims at publishing high-quality linked open data on the Web. The DBpedia Knowledge Graph has been under development for over 14 years and is being improved to this day. Working and consuming such a large scale dataset has often proven to be a messy and difficult process. This DBpedia tutorial will be focused on three core DBpedia topics:

1) the DBpedia Knowledge Graph and the DBpedia community,

2) the DBpedia Infrastructure and the DBpedia services,

3) the current motto of DBpedia: “Global and Unified Access to Linked Data”.
