Call for presentations: KGs operated by AI | DBpedia Day @ SEMANTiCS 2024

Dear all,

we are happy to announce that we will organize a DBpedia Meeting in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The DBpedia Day is part of the SEMANTiCS, Sep 17-19, and will be held on the first day of the conference on 17th of September 2024.

We invite the world’s leading Knowledge Engineering experts to gain insights on the topic “Knowledge Graphs operated by AI”. This event aims to explore how recent advances in AI can leverage and exploit structured knowledge, as well as address new challenges and necessary changes to advance the vision of “Knowledge Graphs operated by AI”.

DBpedia, as one of the first open knowledge graphs since 2007, has significantly influenced and shaped existing standards. As a community, we should now work together to reap the benefits of the available structured knowledge. New opportunities are developing via recent advances in AI, and we seek input on leveraging this technology, as well as an open discussion on the challenges and necessary changes to further the vision of AI-operated Knowledge Graphs.

Deadline for abstract submission (300 words): July 1st, 2024
Online Call: https://www.dbpedia.org/blog/cfp-dbpedia-day-2024/

Submission Guidelines

Please submit your presentation proposals by Monday July 1st, 2024, (Anywhere On Earth; UTC-12) to https://forms.gle/hQydymKtzaHSysJx6. Proposals should include a title, abstract (300 words max), and a brief biography of the presenter(s).

Abstracts will be evaluated based on establishing a strong relation to the call and its topics. While we generally welcome mature and well-engineered showcases and implementations, we will accept some talks with idea, position or impulse character. Additionally, we will positively evaluate industry talks that describe needs and requirements.
