Huge congratulations to all authors involved!
We’re excited to share our work with the ISWC community and to take part in an inspiring conference in Nara!
I'm delighted to be presenting at the 'Global Romanticism' Digital Symposium, hosted by the British Association for Romantic Studies (BARS), on the #RomanticPeriodPoetryArchive (RPPA) — a digital project exploring transnational Romantic-era poetry.

Actually, this is WIkipedia and only structured data, i.e. no RDF.
However, use this SPARQL query on DBpedia to get vitamins and minerals of a cucumber ;-)

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.

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: https://web.archive.org/web/20210620003450/http://miuras.inf.um.es/ontoqual2010/papers.html
Some sources (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33876-2_24, https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/publications/towards-square-based-quality-evaluation-framework-for-ontologies, https://oa.upm.es/5413/) suggest they where supposed to appear on #CEUR. But they did not: https://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 — with strong contributions to the orga & review process.
Keynote by @pgroth on evaluating generative AI in scientific domains sparked great discussion.

Doctoral Consortium Notifications Are Out!
We're excited to welcome 11 outstanding PhD students to the #ISWC2025 Doctoral Consortium!
They'll gain valuable mentorship at the premier #SemanticWeb event in Japan. Check out their work: https://iswc2025.semanticweb.org/#/program/acceptedpapers
Congratulations!
Tom Plasterer was instrumental in the creation of the #FAIRdata principle, the idea - driven by the introduction of the #semanticWeb - 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 #Base4NFDI roadshow are now online. If you are interested in #ontology or #terminology integration to web services you could have a look into our demo presentation about the #Terminology Service Suite (TSS). We integrated there two widgets of the TSS to a data repository and created in this way a #semantic search engine and #FAIRdata
