Dear all,
Exactly 1 year ago, we presented DBpedia Archivo
https://archivo.dbpedia.org <https://archivo.dbpedia.org/>(paper
<https://svn.aksw.org/papers/2020/semantics_archivo/public.pdf>, video
<https://2020-eu.semantics.cc/dbpedia-archivo-web-scale-interface-ontology-archiving-under-consumer-oriented-aspects>)
at SEMANTiCS 2020. Our initial vision was to create a fully automated,
persistent Ontology Archive that serves as a backbone for the Semantic
Web and brings a convenient and stable interface to ontology users. We
are listing some points that we would judge as great successes and
highlights of running Archivo for over a year. Read the full list on our
blog <https://www.dbpedia.org/blog/dbpedia-archivo-1-year-retrospective/>.
September 9th, 2021 at 1pm CEST: In particular, we would like to invite
you to the DBpedia Ontology session
<https://www.dbpedia.org/events/dbpedia-day-semantics-2021/>at the
DBpedia Day at SEMANTiCS 2021 <https://2021-eu.semantics.cc/>to discuss
the future roadmap for Archivo as a Unified Semantic Ontology Space
(USOS) and what the role of the DBpedia Ontology will be in the Semantic
Web.
The session will host impulse talks with ample room for discussion. For
the first time in the history of the Semantic Web, Archivo offers the
possibility to create a Unified Semantic Ontology Space (USOS), a
holistic view over all available ontologies. Instead of soft and fuzzy
principles such as FAIR, we will discuss hard, implementable criteria to
evaluate ontologies in preparation of a well-defined, measurable
standard, which will ultimately yield better and reliable ontologies for
industrial applications. Another topic is the central collaboration on
links and mappings between ontologies to create a more dense and
well-connected web of ontologies. Join the discussion and register here

Stay tuned and stay safe!

The DBpedia Association
