Five-day International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation"
by Udaya Varadarajan 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

*Five-day International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation”* *February 22 – 26, 2021* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *Indian Statistical Institute* *Bangalore, India* Workshop website: https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *About the workshop:* Data is the basic unit of every information communication and dissemination activity. It is the single most important input for every informed decision and policymaking (societal, scholastic, political, economic, etc.). However, the huge amount of available data including experimental data, sample data, survey data, library data, census data, etc., are not being used to their fullest potential as much of the data being saved and accessed via computers is primarily designed for human use and consumption and is not really amenable for machine processing. The need is to transform the data into a machine-processable format so that it becomes amenable to software interpretation, reasoning, inferencing, doing analytics, and question answering (e.g., *find me all those works of Rabindranath Tagore that have been translated into other languages*.). The techniques and technologies developed within the Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) the research community will enable us to achieve this. *Who Should Attend and Why? * The SemTech2020 is designed for researchers, practitioners, and professionals dealing with data and information cutting across domains and disciplines from both academia and industry. The following are some of the skills that the attendees would acquire on completion of the Workshop. The workshop will enable the participants in learning the procedure of: - producing knowledge artifacts (ontology); - producing data in multi-machine-readable formats with minimal effort; - mixing data collected from various sources in different formats; - integrating the data with the knowledge artifacts giving meaning to data; - producing data in machine-processable formats that can be used by AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems for doing smart jobs (e.g., reasoning, decision making); - LD creation and publication on the Web; - data sharing and communication with the scientific community. *Topics:* - Knowledge Graph - Data modelling, Ontology design - SW Tools and Technologies (e.g., RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL) - *F*indable, *A*ccessible,* I*nteroperable and* R*eusable (FAIR) - Knowledge Graph Application - Ontology-based repositories, services - Data Integration - Linked Data - LD Publication and Access - Data Visualization *Important Dates:* - Registration opening date: 14th December 2020 - Registration closing date: 10th January 2021 - Date of workshop: 22 - 26 February 2021 *For details please visit the workshop website ► https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/ Thanking you, Sincerely, Team SemTech2020 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
