The ultimate goal of strategic planning was to select a development strategy ensuring the viability and sustainable exploitation of the MOVING platform during the project durability period and beyond.

ESWC 2018
2018-06-03 - 2018-06-07 | Heraklion, Crete, Greece
15th ESWC 2017 is a major venue for discussing the latest scientific results and technology innovations around semantic technologies.
Mohammad Abdel-Qader from ZBW presented the MOVING paper “Analyzing the Evolution of Vocabulary Terms and their Impact on the LOD Cloud” in the research track. The paper studies the impact of vocabulary change on the knowledge graphs (KGs). Some experiments are conducted on three large-scale KGs: the Billion Triples Challenge (BTC) datasets, the Dynamic Linked Data Observatory (DyLDO) dataset, and Wikidata. The results show that the change frequency of terms is rather low, but can have a high impact due to a large amount of distributed graph data on the web. Furthermore, most of the newly coined terms are adopted immediately afterward. The talk included many results related to the change, use, and adoption of vocabulary terms.

ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2018

MOVING successfully participated with two full research papers in the conference. More specifically, Florian Mai from ZBW presented the full paper “Using Deep Learning for Title-Based Semantic Subject Indexing to Reach Competitive Performance to Full-Text” on Tuesday, June 5, in the session on text collections.Florian’s talk showed that for scientific digital libraries automatic subject indexing methods based on the title of a publication can be as good as or even better than the full-text-based methods by leveraging the surplus of data available to train powerful neural network models. Using titles only is important as this information is usually freely available while full-text may be subject to license.Tobias Backes from GESIS presented the full paper “Effective Unsupervised Author Disambiguation with Relative Frequencies” on Tuesday, June 5, in the session on exploring and analyzing collections. Tobias’s talk presented the problem of author name homonymy in the Web of Science and introduced a novel probabilistic similarity measure for author name disambiguation based on feature overlap.
