Workshop on Ontology Design and Patterns (12th edition) – WOP2021 will take place at the 20th International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC2021, virtually, in October 2021 <https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org>
Workshop Website: <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021>
Submission deadline (papers and patterns): July 5, 2021
Call for Papers
---
We invite submissions to the 12th Workshop on Ontology Design …
[View More]and Patterns (WOP2021) to be held in conjunction with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) that will take place online from Oct. 24 to 28, 2021. WOP2021 is a full-day workshop consisting of three parts: paper presentations, a poster session, and an interactive breakout discussion session.
The workshop aims to discuss issues of quality in ontology design. In particular, it focuses on the role and use of ontology design patterns (ODPs) for data and knowledge engineering in the Semantic Web, as related to the ontologydesignpatterns.org<http://ontologydesignpatterns.org> initiative. The increased attention to ODPs in recent years through their interaction with emerging trends of Semantic Web such as knowledge graphs can be attributed to their benefit for knowledge engineers and Semantic Web developers. Such benefits come in the form of direct link to requirements, reuse, guidance, and better communication. The workshop’s aim is to: 1) provide an arena for discussing patterns, pattern-based ontologies, systems, datasets, and 2) broaden the pattern community by developing its own "discourse" for discussing and describing relevant problems and their solutions.
Topics
---
We particularly welcome contributions on topics concerning development of high-quality ontologies in general (with or without the help of ODPs) as well as studies and applications of ODPs for knowledge graph construction and maintenance. In addition, as usual we also welcome pattern descriptions of all sorts, including patterns geared towards applications in specific domains such as geosciences, biomedical science, digital humanities, or e-commerce. The main topics of interest are:
1) Use of ontology design patterns for any kind of knowledge engineering, including
– Pattern-based ontology design, conceptual modeling or knowledge engineering broadly
– Use in knowledge graphs or linked data settings (including pattern-driven linking or data publishing)
– Pattern-based information extraction, ontology learning, and relation to NLP
– Use in streaming, ingesting or evolving knowledge
– Use of patterns for ontology evaluation, quality assurance, ontology selection, integration or alignment
– Pattern-based development of semantic applications
– Reasoning with patterns (including automated reasoning, verification, or contextual reasoning)
2) Methods and tools for developing high-quality ontologies (with or without the help of patterns), including
– Ontology engineering by domain experts
– Quality attributes or metrics in ontologies and ontology engineering
– Quality assurance approaches for ontology engineering
– Critical analysis of the design of existing ontologies, and proposals on how to improve the design, possibly by using ODPs
3) Development or analysis of ontology design patterns, including
– Pattern extraction
– Analyses of ontology design patterns or their uses
– Antipatterns and their relations to ODPs
4) Development and use of patterns in specific domains, including
– Date lakes, business intelligence, or Big Data integration
– Geosciences, life sciences, engineering, digital humanities, cultural preservation
– IoT, smart homes & cities, smart agriculture
– Semantic technology including social networks, semantic wikis or blogs
Submissions
---
We invite the submission of original research results related to the focus areas of the workshop, in one of three categories given below. All submissions are requested through EasyChair.
1) Research papers (maximum 15 pages LNCS style) presenting mature work and established results.
2) Short papers (maximum 5 pages LNCS style) presenting proposed research directions, novel ideas, or more general positions or discussions.
3) Ontology Design Patterns (5-12 pages LNCS style) should solve a particular modelling problem, of relevance either to the broader ontology engineering community, or to some specific knowledge domain, in a novel and reusable manner. Pattern serialization must be made available, ideally at a permanent IRI. When preparing the camera-ready version, patterns must additionally be submitted through the ontologydesignpatterns.org<http://ontologydesignpatterns.org> community portal, as described at http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021/Submission.

Hello all,
The Wikimedia hackathon
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021> is coming up in a
few weeks, on May 22-23! We’re very excited to gather online with you all
and hack together.
On top of the informal hacking, we would like to build a light, community
powered program, with sessions and discussions about the technical
environment in the Wikimedia movement. We will have two different “tracks”,
each of them having its own setup:
…
[View More]
1.
The main track, a livestream of sessions that will be recorded and
available for replay, hopefully using a fully open source set up. This will
be great for presentations, talks and demos.
2.
The open rooms: two Jitsi rooms will be available to schedule your
sessions. This is perfect for informal discussions, Q&As and workshops.
If you’re interested in running a session in the hackathon’s program, it’s
easy: please create a task on the Phabricator board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/5303/>, using this template
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?title=[Sessio…>,
that will give you all the required information. The coordination team will
come back to you to help you prepare and schedule your session.
You will also find the different formats that we are offering:
presentation, discussion, workshop or lightning talk. All topics are
welcome, as long as they are connected to the technical environment of the
Wikimedia projects. We are particularly interested in sessions that are
useful for newcomers, and connected to the main topics of this year’s
hackathon: open source tools for events, documentation and finding
co-maintainers.
Because we will need some time to schedule the proposed sessions and to
make technical tests with the speakers, please note that the deadline to
submit a session for the main track is May 9th. For the open rooms, you
will have a bit more time, until May 19th.
You will find more information and details about the call for proposals on
the how-to page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/How_to>. If you
have any questions, feel free to ask on the discussion page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021>. If you want
to brainstorm ideas or find a co-speaker for your session, feel free to ask
the crowd on the hackathon social channels
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/Discussions>.
Feel free to share the word anywhere you find it useful, and talk about it
with your contacts! Thanks in advance,
For the coordination team,

Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours on 2021-05-04 at 16:00-17:00 UTC (9am PT/6pm CET).
To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3] (You can do this after you join the meeting, too.), otherwise you are
welcome to also just hang out. More detailed information (e.g. about how to
attend) can be found here [4].
Through these office …
[View More]hours, we aim to make ourselves more available to
answer some of the research related questions that you as Wikimedia
volunteer editors, organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in
your projects and initiatives. Some example cases we hope to be able to
support you in:
-
You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
in my wiki?
-
You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
harder to find an answer for during an office hour, however, discussing
them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
-
You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
of you interested more closely in this space.
-
You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].
Hope to see many of you,
Martin on behalf of the WMF Research Team

Hi everyone,
This is to announce that over the past month we started to look at ways to
help us all get a better understanding of the quality of Wikidata's data in
a specific area of interest. For this purpose we worked on building two
tools; an Item Quality Evaluator and a Constraint Violation Checker - both
of these tools are now available at:
-
Item Quality Evaluator <https://item-quality-evaluator.toolforge.org>
-
Constraint Violation Checker
<https://github.com/wmde/wikidata-constraints-violation-checker>
Data quality on Wikidata has many aspects. The constraint violations and
ORES quality scores that these tools use are two helpful indicators of
certain aspects of quality that we hope will be helpful for you.
As you may know, Wikidata’s data quality is very unevenly distributed -
some areas are very well maintained and others not so much. We only
currently provide ORES quality scores on a global and per-Item level. This
has two effects, however:
-
Editors taking care of a specific area of Wikidata want to improve that
area but currently don’t have an easy way to find the Items with the lowest
quality they can focus their time on in order to raise the quality of that
area.
-
Re-user of Wikidata’s data are usually only interested in a subset of
Wikidata’s Items and by extension the quality of that subset. It is
currently hard for them to know what quality level they are getting for
their subset of interest.
To address this issue we put together two small tools. The Item Quality
Evaluator is a simple website that provides ORES quality scores for a list
of Items in Wikidata. The Constraint Violation Checker is a small
command-line script that retrieves the number of constraint violations and
ORES scores for a list of Items for further analysis.
How does the Item Quality Evaluator tool work?
You provide it with a list of Item IDs or a SPARQL query and then it'll get
the ORES score for each of them as well as the average score over all the
Items you
provided in a nice webpage. This way, you can more easily identify the
Items in an area you are interested in that have the lowest quality and
improve them.
How does the Constraint Violation Checker script work?
When you run it, it outputs a CSV file with the number of statements, the
number of constraint violations for each severity level, the number of
sitelinks to all projects and to Wikipedia and the ORES score for each of
those Items.
Why didn't we integrate the constraint violations data into the Item
Quality Evaluator?
We want to do that in the long-term but right now it is not possible
because the constraint violation data is not easily accessible and
retrieving it takes several hours to run for a large list of items.
Please try these tools and let us know if you encounter any issues. If you
want to provide general feedback, feel free to let us know.
Cheers,
