1st Workshop on Squaring the Circle on Graphs

The goal of this workshop is to report and share experiences from industry and academia, on using, comparing, and bridging the gap between these two kinds of graphs. The expected outcome is a better understanding of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two paradigms, and the emergence of tools and methods allowing to get the best of both worlds.

Workshop on Rethinking Asset Information Management

This workshop presents an overview of how RDF and Linked Data are reshaping the field of asset information management. The perennial problems in this domain — such as high volumes of data being exchanged by many different parties, and the great variety of specialisms involved, each with their own vocabulary — require a new approach. The presenters are from different backgrounds and will cover topics ranging from developments in standardisation to deploying working solutions.

Workshop on Legal Understanding

In the workshop on legal understanding we have invited speakers that will present the current state of the art of legal understanding with regard to Dutch legislation and legal texts. We will discuss the way legislation and legal text can be structured for better accessibility and we will examine a number of legal frameworks that can help to get a deep understanding of the legal constructs used in these text.

Tutorial: Knowledge Engineering of Taxonomies, Thesauri, and Ontologies

This tutorial teaches the fundamentals and best practices for creating quality taxonomies, thesauri, and ontologies, whether for the enterprise or for specific knowledge bases in any industry. Emphasis will be on serving users and use cases, rather than on theory. Topics to be covered include: different kinds of knowledge organization systems (taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, etc.) their differences and their benefits and suitability for different purposes, Semantic Web standards and other standards, thesaurus/taxonomy concept creation, thesaurus/taxonomy relationship creation, ontology modeling basics, linking knowledge organization systems, and enriching a taxonomy or thesaurus to become an ontology and a knowledge graph.

Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modelling of Digital Twins - ODCM-DT

Digital Twin is a concept that connects concrete systems to digital representations. In a sense, Digital Twins are the similar to ontologies (semantic models), but instead of mapping the real world to conceptual representations, these representations are codified in terms of computer systems and models. By taking the path from systems to their Digital Twins through explicit ontological grounding, we expect that the suitability and expressiveness of these Digital Twins will increase
