Two intense days at the NFDI-MatWerk All-hands-on-Deck meeting in Siegburg! Huge kudos to the organising team for making it so fruitful. Loved connecting with the MatWerk community, reflecting on Phase 1 achievements and getting excited for Phase 2. Big shoutout to the @fizise team: @enorouzi @heikef Hossein Beygi Nasrabadi and Alsayed Algergawy!

The OntoWeaver team is proud to release version 1.4 of its tool 🥳

OntoWeaver allows to easily parse iterable data (like tables or documents) and create a Semantic Knowledge Graph. Basically, you write a simple YAML file telling what data you want to be a node or a property, you call a generic command, and 🎉 , you have your graph ready.

With the 1.4 series, the main new feature is an option to display progress bars when doing heavy processing (like loading large CSV files).

The documentation has also been heavily updated, completed and polished:

Our paper "NERdME: a Named Entity Recognition Dataset for Indexing Research Artifacts in Code Repositories" by @GenAsefa Zongxiong Chen, @shufan Mary Ann Tan, Zhaotai Liu, @sonjas0815 & @lysander07 was accepted at The ACM Web Conference 2026.
...as it is still not sure whether WWW2026 will take place (in Dubai) we published the paper already in #arxiv

One obvious selling point of the Semantic Web vision, in the age of #MOLE Training hype, is to point out that it's about enabling dumb software to do smarter things with data. By enabling humans to add more machine-readable metadata. Rather than trying to make software smarter, so it can make good guesses about data without such context.

Most of the snake oil people on the "AI" hype train sell as unique benefits of leasing a Trained MOLE can be done with Semantic Web tools.

It's funny that the more coding languages I learn the more I realise people love naming things after animal when it comes to using it for data.

You got python, with its pandas library. And now I'm also learning things about semantic webs where I use turtle and owl.
When of there are acronyms that is 4 animal named coding language I use a lot when working with data.

The OntoWeaver team is proud to release version 1.3 of its tool 🥳

OntoWeaver allows to easily parse iterable data (like tables or documents) and create a Semantic Knowledge Graph. Basically, you write a simple YAML file telling what data you want to be a node or a property, you call a generic command, and 🎉 , you have your graph ready.

We've been using OntoWeaver on a few real use-cases, I think it's now in a pretty good state, and ready for you to use. We recently put a lot of attention on the documentation, with tutorials and a primer about KG for newcomers: https://ontoweaver.readthedocs.io/en/latest

With the 1.3 series, the main new features are:
* `ontoweave` can now load multiple compatible data files at once, for the same mapping, with a classical "shell glob". E.G. `ontoweave data/*.parquet:mapping.yaml`
* OntoWeaver now has the ability to automatically create or extend a BioCypher schema from the mapping (useful if you don't want to type a large but straightforward set of types!).

Get the code at: https://github.com/oncodash/ontoweaver or using `pip`: https://pypi.org/project/ontoweaver/

Here's the diagram btw: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116113963712755122

The problem of #SolidProject knowing what it is, is more an inherited problem of #LinkedData / #SemanticWeb knowing what it is.

Semantic web always was "if only all information on the web were semantic and machine-readable, then...". And there it stopped. Presumably magic would happen.

And perhaps it would. But to make such a big leap, a paradigm shift of the entire web, along the way you have inspire a whole lot of people to set the (r)evolution in motion and keep it going.

If you look at what linked data is, it is a very low-level format. Nice if you have it, but now what are you going to build with it? There are some good application areas, but the case for linked data elsewhere is not a given.

Still today there are regular discussions on 'what would be the killer app for Solid' or linked data in general. Saw some interest for LLM's fed semantic data to make them more deterministic. I'm not interested.

@reiver @thisismissem @mfru

I made a diagram yesterday that contrasts #ActivityPub and #SolidProject that is I think interesting to consider.

In the past I've been very active on the Solid forum, and tried to get a collab going with #SocialHub community. A number of points that existed then, are still issues today I think.

Like, though anyone could participate in the standards process via chat, the Solid team and Inrupt were not really interested in their community, hardly giving attention while people were building interesting stuff there.

Also at the time basically all available code was Javascript, making Solid uninteresting or hard to access for other language devs.

But I think biggest issue was that Solid didn't know what it was. It was positioned as 'personal data vault' on the landing page then (but not using this term), but was 'secretly' TBL's desire to reboot the #SemanticWeb. The new web would be all 'Solid apps'. But the adoption strategy for that didn't exist.

Hot take: <div>s are basically the cockroaches of HTML.

Only JSON-LD W3C-VC supports semantic interoperability natively via linked data.

@context allows every property to link to an ontology via resolvable URIs. A machine can determine that a Spanish architect qualification and a German Berufsqualifikation refer to the same profession — without bilateral mapping.

SD-JWT VC and mdoc transport data. W3C-VC transports meaning.

The Commission chose W3C-VC for DC4EU because education required it.
