Keynote by Prof. Dr. Sören Auer (director Leibniz Information Centre for
Science and Technology and University Library) on Knowledge Curation in the
Open Research Knowledge Graph

Keynote by Prof. Dr. Kalina Bontcheva (Prof. Text Analysis, University of
Sheffield) 

 

Digital curation is a complex time and knowledge intensive process, in which
knowledge workers create new content artifacts and knowledge insights from
heterogeneous sources (content, data, knowledge). The work required for this
includes, e.g., selecting, summarizing, scheduling, translating, localising,
structuring, condensing, enriching, visualizing and explaining the various
contents, taking into account the steadily growing speed, volume and number
of sources such as online newspapers, news portals, social media, linked
data, business information systems, IoT data streams etc. AI, in particular
from the field of language and semantic knowledge technologies, are used to
support these tasks and thereby accelerate and qualitatively improve them. 

 

The conference provides a forum on the use of digital curation technologies
in application domains for, e.g., media, journalism, logistics, cultural
heritage, health care and life sciences, energy, industry. Of particular
relevance are papers that demonstrate the applied use of digital curation
technologies and tools in domain-specific use cases and that bridge
traditional boundaries between disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence
and Semantic Web, data analytics and machine learning, information/content
and knowledge management systems, information retrieval, knowledge
discovery, and computational linguistics.
