Re: [LIS-Forum] Five-day International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation"

9 Jan 2021

      *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

*Important Dates:*

   - *Registration opening date: 14th December 2020*

*   - Registration closing date: 10th January 2021*

*   - Date of workshop: 22 - 26 February 2021*

**Deadline for registration tomorrow**

*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.
