Hey @doriantaylor, I have some more dumb semantic web questions.

1. If I *don't* want to use a full existing ontology, because I intentionally want to have a simpler model during early phases of a project, is there a .. I guess a "sanctioned way" to enhance my ontology as time goes on without losing fidelity?

I know OWL's SameAs can identify individual resources as the same as some other resource, but this would kind of be that, only at the ontological level, maybe.

@ekawconference
What happened to the "Workshop on Ontology Quality at the 17th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2010)" papers?
They have not been available on the workshop website: web.archive.org/web/2021062000
Some sources (doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-3387, research.manchester.ac.uk/en/p, oa.upm.es/5413/) suggest they where supposed to appear on #CEUR. But they did not: ceur-ws.org/#Vol-674

Yesterday, I've attended the MSE Research Data Forum 2025 organised by #NFDIMatWerk. Aside from the conference presentations, our little ontologies group was meeting and discussing future work on ontologies in NFDI-MatWerk, including NFDIcore, MatWerk Application Ontologies, and PMDcore.

At #ESWC2025, the 3rd #SemTech4STLD25 workshop tackled how #SemanticWeb, #NLP & #AI can make complex scientific, technical & legal data more usable.

FIZ Karlsruhe played a key role โ€” with strong contributions to the orga & review process.
Keynote by @pgroth on evaluating generative AI in scientific domains sparked great discussion.

Tom Plasterer was instrumental in the creation of the principle, the idea - driven by the introduction of the - that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

From its origins in the semantic web community, scientific research, and the pharmaceutical industry, FAIR has since been widely adopted in academia, research, industry, and enterprises of all kinds.

Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

As I found out the videos of the 2nd roadshow are now online. If you are interested in or integration to web services you could have a look into our demo presentation about the Service Suite (TSS). We integrated there two widgets of the TSS to a data repository and created in this way a search engine and

Today in the ISE 2025 lecture on OWL, the Web Ontology Language. Tired of using slide presentations (at temperatures like today and giving the same presentation all over again), I spontaneously decided to design arbitrary OWL ontologies together with the students on the good old blackboard ;-)

I havenโ€™t really contributed to the discussion, but Iโ€™m glad to see that the `pronouns` property has finally been added to the Schema.org vocabulary after I created a GitHub issue back in 2021.

So if youโ€™re into , you can now properly specify your pronouns as structured data: schema.org/pronouns

Tomorrow, we will dive deeper into ontologies with OWL, the Web Ontology Language. However, I'm doing OWL-lectures now for almost 20 years - and OWL as well as the lecture haven't changed much. So, I'm afraid I'm going to surprise/dissapoint the students tomorrow, when I will switch off the presentation and start improvising a random OWL ontology with them on the blackboard ;-)

Slide from the OWL slide deck of Information Service ENgineering 2025. An example for a nominal in OWL is depicted, i.e. a class that is defined by enumerating its members. The example is "MaddAddamTrilogyBook", which refers to a trilogy of novels by Margaret Atwood, It is defined to consist out of "Oryx and Crate, The Year of the Flood, and Madd Addam. The book covers of the three books are shown for an illustration.

In this blog post at s.gwdg.de/m5Bu3L I showcase the #NFDI4BIOIMAGE (@nfdi4bioimage@nfdi.social, @nfdi4bioimage@bird.makeup) #knowledgegraph and its function as a registry for public #OMERO image data repositories and their respective #SPARQL endpoints. Annotated #bioimage data has become part of the #semanticweb. @joshmoore @Andrawaag #nfdi #metadata #KnowledgeGraphs #ontop #r2rml #rdf

In today's ISE 2025 lecture,, we will introduce SPARQL as a query language for knowledge graphs. Again, I'm trying out 'Dystopian Novels' as example knowledge graph playground. Let's see, if the students might know any of them. Wtat do you think? ;-)

OK @doriantaylor (or anybody), one more beginner question. When does a reasoner actually do its work? So, I've got a pile of data in whatever form, and I formulate a query. Then .... what? The reasoner looks at the datatypes in the query and says e.g. "if you're asking for publications that also means books or articles?" Or does it create dummy nodes for the existing data, so there's a publication node for every book and every article?
