Fwd: Knowledge Graph Forum Bern on October 18th

Hello Hydra

Please see the forwarded email below from my boss Adrian Gschwend.

In just over 2 weeks we are hosting a Knowledge Graphs unconference. It mean that there will be less talking heads and more interactive discussion between all attendees.

It will give us great pleasure if some of you Hydranians would join us in Bern.

Best,
Tom

Dear colleagues,  

Knowledge Graphs are getting a lot of attention in the industry and the  
public sector. On Friday, October 18th we will hold the first Knowledge  
Graph Forum in Bern, Switzerland. We want to discuss all kinds of  
Knowledge Graphs and exchange know-how about how companies and  
organizations use them. The focus will be real-world use cases,  
case-studies of what worked and what didn’t and where your company or  
organization wants to go with them.  

Keynotes by: Katariina Kari (Zalando), Bart van Leeuwen (Netage), Peter  
Winstanley (Scottish Gov) and Rhicheek Patra (Oracle):  

* Katariina will talk about building, and communicating, a knowledge  
graph in Zalando  
* Bart will talk about how knowledge graphs can help to avoid casualties  
among firefighters  
* Peter presents his vision of a government knowledge graph and how to  
approach it  
* And Rhicheek talks about Entity Linking powered by Graph Embedding  

Besides the keynotes we have three 1-hour slots with 1-2 rooms,  
depending on how much we want to have parallel sessions.  

So far we have the following sessions proposed:  

* An Enterprise Graph in full production at Swatch  
* Chatbot Application on large Government Spatial Knowledge Graph in the  
Netherlands  
* Blue Brain Nexus: A knowledge graph for data-driven science  
* SPARQL: federation in practice  
* SPARQL 1.2: Community group, how to improve SPARQL  
* Using RDF, Github, and PSPS to provide accessible RDF data about species  

Session speakers will present their topic for at most 20 minutes, the  
rest of the slot is reserved for interaction & discussions with the  
other participants (unconference style).  

You can find out more about the sessions & speakers here:
