Hi all,

I assume that several of us might want to attend this talk. I, for one, do.

Unfortunately, it conflicts with our weekly N3 call... :-/

Dear all,

Following the previous very successful talk by Ora Lassila and the panel 
on 20 years into ISWC, on *Monday 07/03 at 18.00 CET,* Olaf Hartig will 
give a talk regarding his "Reflections on Linked Data Querying and Other 
Related Topics".

The talk will be streamed at the YouTube channel of the Distributed 
Knowledge Graphs (DKG) COST action:

*About the speaker*: Olaf Hartig is an Associate Professor at the 
Department of Computer and Information Science of Linköping University. 
Additionally, he is an Amazon Scholar working with the Neptune graph 
database team at Amazon Web Services. Olaf is interested in problems 
related to the management of databases and knowledge, with a focus on 
graph data and data that is distributed over multiple, autonomous and/or 
heterogeneous sources. He received the 2019 SWSA Ten-Year Award for a 
paper which pioneered the idea of traversal-based query execution as 
well as querying Linked Data on the Web in general, and for his PhD 
thesis on the foundations of Linked Data queries, he was honored with 
the SWSA Distinguished Dissertation Award in 2015.

*About the talk*: When aiming to evolve the World Wide Web into a Web of 
interlinked data ready for software agents and applications to consume 
and act upon, Semantic Web researchers have advanced the state of the 
art of federated data management, with novel ideas that focus on 
discoverability, interoperability, and automation. While the adoption 
and the practicality of these ideas did, generally, not pan out as 
expected or hoped for, core aspects of the ideas have the potential to 
be carried over as key ingredients of new approaches to interact with 
decentralized knowledge graphs and to build decentralized data 
architectures. In this talk I will reflect on these earlier ideas and 
describe research problems that need to be addressed in order to carry 
these ideas forward.
