After the big success of the first two DBpedia Community Meeting in
Amsterdam and Leipzig with more than 70 international participants,
the third edition of the event will take place in Dublin, Ireland,
on February 9, 2015.<br>
<br>
The meeting will have a special focus on DBpedia in Digital
Humanities, the bootstrapping of an Irish DBpedia Community and the
new structure of the DBpedia Association.<br>
<br>
The DBpedia Project has developed from a hosted data set to the
public data infrastructure for the Web of Data. The DBpedia
Community Meeting aims to get together three major groups being
involved in DBpedia: the DBpedia developers and maintainers, the
communities of the individual DBpedia language chapters and, of
course, the DBpedia users.<br>

Preliminary Agenda<br>
=============<br>
<br>
The meeting will be held at Trinity Long Room Hub (2nd floor),
break-out sessions will also be in the School of Computer Science
and Statistics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland on Feb. 9, 2015. The
first session will contain talks and discussions about the DBpedia
State-of-Play, where core members of the DBpedia community present
certain aspects of DBpedia and the audience is invited to give
feedback and ask questions. The second session will be dedicated to
users of DBpedia. A detailed program will be continuously updated
on the DBpedia Website. There will be a dedicated break-out session
on DBpedia and Digital Humanities. Again, we also plan to have
several break-out sessions for trending DBpedia topics to enable
further discussion on how to improve DBpedia.<br>
<br>
<br>
Call for Contributions<br>
===============<br>
We would like to invite companies, organisations, research groups
and other projects to shortly present their use cases for DBpedia
and give input on how we can improve DBpedia for users. Free slots
still available and will be handled on a first come first serve
basis. Contribution proposals include (but are not limited to)
presentations, posters, demos, lightning talks and session
suggestions. For Dublin we are especially interested to hear from
DBpedia users, developers involved in the Digital Humanities area.<br>

<br>
The DBpedia community project extracts structured, multilingual
knowledge from Wikipedia and makes it freely available using
Semantic Web and Linked Data standards. The extracted knowledge,
comprising more than 1.8 billion facts, is structured according to
an ontology maintained by the community. The knowledge is obtained
from different Wikipedia language editions, thus covering more than
100 languages, and mapped to the community ontology. The resulting
data sets are linked to more than 30 other data sets in the Linked
Open Data (LOD) cloud. The DBpedia project was started in 2006 and
has meanwhile attracted large interest in research and practice.
Being a central part of the LOD cloud, it serves as a connection hub
for other data sets. For the research community, DBpedia provides a
testbed serving real world data spanning many domains and languages.
Due to the continuous growth of Wikipedia, DBpedia also provides an
increasing added value for data acquisition, re-use and integration
tasks within organisations. In this system report, we give an
overview over the DBpedia community project, including its
architecture, technical implementation, maintenance,
internationalisation, usage statistics and showcase some popular
DBpedia applications.<br>
<br>
Travel Grants / Sponsorship<br>
=================<br>
<br>
Some of the DBpedia developers work on DBpedia in their free-time
and will not have institutional funding to come to the meeting.
Therefore, we are still looking for sponsors for travel grants (as
well as coffee and food for the sessions). If you are interested to
sponsor this meeting, please fill out this form to request more
information: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://goo.gl/forms/a2K1WDg5HW">http://goo.gl/forms/a2K1WDg5HW</a><br>
<br>
Given we can acquire a sponsor, participants can apply for a travel
grant here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://goo.gl/forms/a2K1WDg5HW">http://goo.gl/forms/a2K1WDg5HW</a>.<br>
<br>
These grants will be awarded depending on the standing in the
community and community activity, e.g. Google Summer of Code
participation or Git Commits to DBpedia framework, activity on the
mailing lists, etc.<br>
