Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours on 2021-06-01 at 16:00-17:00 UTC (9am PT/6pm CEST).
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 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 change is relevant for everyone who uses the JSON serialization of
Lexeme, Form or Sense entities.
Currently, when a Lexeme Form or Sense has no statements stored, it is
rendered as an empty array [] in JSON. (Example <
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=json&ids=L38…>).
We want to serialize it as an empty object {} instead. This change will
ease the deserialization process and bring more consistency in our code as
nonempty statements are already serialized as objects, not arrays.
The impact of this change will be in the output of wbgetentities and
editing APIs, as well as Special:EntityData and the Lexeme JSON dumps.
If you’re maintaining tools that use lexicographical data, you may want to
check your code to make sure that it reflects this change, e.g. lexeme
forms or senses with no statements are properly deserialized by your tool.
This change is available for testing at test.wikidata.org before deployment
to www.wikidata.org. You are welcome to give us general feedback by leaving
a comment in this ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T241422>.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers,

Hi everyone,
This is a short update on the Wikidata support process review
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team/Process…>
we started last year.
*As a reminder, our goal is to improve the way we (the Wikidata development
team at Wikimedia Germany) currently support the Wikidata community with
collecting and reacting to bug reports and feature requests.*
Based on your feedback, we have been working on incorporating your inputs
into redesigning the Wikidata:Contact the development team
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team> page.
We suggest changing its name to make it less focused on the development
team and a central place for all discussions about technical issues on
Wikidata, where editors are welcome to help answer and support others. We
introduced sub documentation pages so that it’s hopefully easier to
navigate bug reports, and we will work on a better integration of multiple
languages.
You can already have a look at Wikidata:Report a technical problem
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Mohammed_Sadat_(WMDE)/Wikidata:Report_a_…>
(it’s a draft page, still in construction)
We invite you to let us know if you feel like something important is
missing by leaving a comment on this talk page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Contact_the_development_team/Pr…>
by June 10th.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Cheers,

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 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.
Submissions should be made via <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wop2021#>. Detailed instructions can be found at the submission page <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/WOP:2021/Submission>.
