BS1: DBpedia Dev session / chair: Dimitris Kontokostas Room: A Session for developers to talk about technical issues and challenges in DBpedia including:
BS2: DBpedia Tutorial by Markus Freudenberg, AKSW/KILT Room: B a one hour tutorial about Linked Data and DBpedia The tutorial will start with an open talk to assess the level of the audience and then either start with a general introduction to Linked Data or go more into detail and provide an overview and tips and tricks on DBpedia components and what we can do with it. BS3: DBpedia & NLP (partially focused on Cultural Heritage) chair: Sebastian Hellmann, AKSW/KILT Room: Auditorium In this session we will investigate the application of Linked Data on Language Technologies, especially entity linking. The domain is focused partially on Digital Humanities (20) Results of the LIDER project by Christina Unger, CITEC: One of the outcomes of the LIDER support action are guidelines to facilitate the discovery, reuse and exploitation of existing linguistic resources, aiming at the establishment of a new Linked Open Data (LOD) based ecosystem of free, interlinked, and semantically interoperable language and media resources (corpora, dictionaries, lexical and syntactic metadata, images, etc.) for multilingual, cross-media content analytics. In order to show how these guidelines can be realized, I will showcase example services for discovering and querying relevant linguistic resources and for using and linking LOD-aware NLP services. The full presentation is available here. (20) TellMeFirst A Knowledge Domain Discovery Framework by Giuseppe Futia: TellMeFirst (TMF) is an open-source framework that leverages the DBpedia knowledge base and the Wikipedia corpus for classifying documents, achieved by computing a similarity score between the target document and an initial training set. Each DBpedia entity identifies a document of the training set that includes all Wikipedia paragraphs in which the entity appears as wikilink. The training set is composed by entities covered in DBpedia from different knowledge domains (such as Cultural Heritage, Politics, History, Science, Sport). Nevertheless, cultural institutes, companies, and public administrations are much more interested in a classification system that exploits only a subset of these entities, specific for their purposes and needs. During the talk, we will introduce both the transformation pipeline (based on DBpedia Spotlight project) for building a general-purpose training set and a configurable process for building a domain training set. Then, we will report on the differences between classification results obtained by evaluating TMF with the two training sets in an example scenario. The full presentation is available here.
