Re: CfP: Semantic Web Challenge (ISWC2020) - Mining the Web of HTML-embedded Product Data

I'm trying to follow up on this as GS1 has some code lists and our
schema.org extension (https://gs1.org/voc) that might be of direct
interest (and we may even have some ground truth as well but it's tied
up in licensing so may not be useable here).

But https://ir-ischool-uos.github.io/mwpd/ returns a security warning.
Can you fix that please Anna?

We have more than a passing interest in seeing what comes out of this
challenge!

Thanks

Phil
