2nd Call for Systems - SemTab: ISWC 2020 Semantic Web Challenge on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph Matching
Ernesto Jimenez-Ruiz
This is the 2nd call for systems for the SemTab 2020 Semantic Web Challenge on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph Matching collocated with the International Semantic Web Conference: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/isg/challenges/sem-tab/
Tabular data to Knowledge Graph (KG) matching is the process of assigning semantic tags from Knowledge Graphs (e.g., Wikidata) to the elements of the table. This task however is often difficult in practice due to metadata (e.g., table and column names) being missing, incomplete or ambiguous.
This challenge aims at benchmarking systems dealing with the tabular data to KG matching problem, so as to facilitate their comparison on the same basis and the reproducibility of the results.
Datasets
----------------------
Round 1 is already open. Unlike in SemTab 2019, the target Knowledge Graph in SemTab 2020 is Wikidata.
Challenge Tasks
----------------------
The challenge includes the following tasks organised into several evaluation rounds:
- Assigning a semantic type (e.g., a KG class) to a column: CTA task.
- Matching a cell to a KG entity: CEA task.
- Assigning a KG property to the relationship between two columns: CPA task
The challenge will be run with the support of the AICrowd platform: https://www.aicrowd.com/organizers/tabular-data-to-knowledge-graph-matching
Discussion group
----------------------
We have a discussion group for the challenge where we share the latest news with the participants and we discuss issues risen during the evaluation rounds:

Workshop on research data/objects management for Linked Open Science - DaMaLOS
Virtually co-located with the International Semantic Web Conference - ISWC 2020
Submission deadline: 17 Aug. 2020
Submission link: EasyChair DaMaLOS-2020 workshop
Call for Papers
=========================
DaMaLOS-2020 (ISWC co-located) workshop will explore what is required for Research Data Management to effectively instantiate Linked Open Science, i.e., Open Science + Linked Open Data (LOD) principles, including effective support for LOD, automation by, e.g., machine/deep learning approaches, and innovations to include supporting data elements such as the software used to produce/consume it together with tutorials showcasing their usage. Furthermore, data management should be complemented by other research objects management plans, e.g. software and workflows, in order to get an integrated layer supporting all the edges of Linked Open Science. In this workshop we will keep a focus on data management but we will also have opportunities to discuss how other research objects play an important role.
Please submit your contribution via EasyChair DaMaLOS-2020 workshop before the 17 of August. We welcome full (max 10 pages) and short/position (max 6 pages) papers on the following (or similar) topics:
Importance of Research Data Management (RDM) for LOD
Importance of other Research Objects Management (ROM) and their alignment with RDM and LOD
Special features/metadata required in RDM plans for LOD
RDM plans elements/data that can be automated, particularly for LOD
Links between RDM and ROM plans and how those could be automated
Extensions to current RDM plans to better support Linked Open Science, e.g., emergence of ROM
Integration/alignment between FAIRness assessment tools and RDM/ROM plans/tools
Research and training initiatives related to RDM/ROM supporting Open Science/Linked Open Science
Benefits of Linked Open Science over Open Science
How RDM/ROM plans and LOD can be used to improve collection and storage of (usually volatile) data produced at, e.g., conferences
How and what data produced by RDM/ROM plans could be automatically integrated into knowledge graph initiatives such as Open Aire, Research Graph or Web of Science
Important dates
=========================
Submission due: 17 of August 2020
Notification of accepted papers: 11 of September 2020
Camera ready papers due: TBD, probably by the end of September 2020
Publication of workshop proceedings: TBD, probably 2 to 4 weeks after camera ready
Workshop: 2 or 3 of November 2020
Submission process
=========================
Full papers (up to 10 pages): Presenting novel scientific research relevant to workshop topics
Short papers (up to 6 pages): Presenting supporting tools or training materials relevant to workshop topics
Position papers (up to 6 pages): Presenting positions or research at early stages relevant to workshop topics
All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference/workshop. All submissions must be in English. Proceedings of the workshop will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license; by submitting you agree to the use of this license for accepted papers. We welcome full (max 8 pages) and short/position (max 4 pages) papers formatted according to LNCS templates
