‘Knowledge Graphs in Action’ online event on Oct 6, 2020

Summary

Due to current circumstances, the SEMANTiCS Onsite Conference 2020 had, unfortunately, to be postponed till September 2021. To bridge the gap until 2021, DBpedia, PLDN and EuroSDR will organize a SEMANTiCS satellite event online, on October 6, 2020. We set up an exciting themed program around ‘Knowledge Graphs in Action: DBpedia, Linked Geodata and Geo-information Integration’.

This new event is a combination of two already existing ones: the DBpedia Community Meeting, which is regularly held as part of the SEMANTiCS, and the annual Spatial Linked Data conference organised by EuroSDR and the Platform Linked Data Nederland. We fused both together and as a bonus, we added a track about Geo-information Integration hosted by EuroSDR. For the joint opening session, we recruited four amazing keynote speakers to kick the event off.
