The Semantic Web standards\, upon which modern information ontologies are built\, have brought ontologies more closely aligned to taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems\, than the merely computer science use of ontologies of the past. Integrating ontologies with taxonomies has many practical applications\, which increasingly more companies and organizations are implementing. This educational session teaches the fundamental principles of ontologies for information science\, including their definitions\, types\, standards\, benefits\, and uses\, including knowledge graphs. It then instructs by ways of examples\, how to extend a taxonomy to become an ontology\, and then addresses issues in modeling and designing ontology classes\, relations\, and attributes\, including best options and practices. Tools and technologies will also be addressed.Date: Thursday\, July 14\, 2:00 – 4:30 pm EDTFormat: Live online (Zoom)Organizer: SLA (Special Libraries Association) Continuing Education WorkshopsRegistration: $100 for SLA members\, $150 for nonmembers \n“Research Sources and Methodologies for Taxonomy Development”\nDescription: This session explores the information sources and research methodologies available to those who are starting out in taxonomy development. Information sources discussed include publicly available taxonomies and ontologies\, and authoritative vs nonauthoritative sources. Research methodologies include card sorting\, tree testing\, actionable recommendations\, content analysis\, and the use of metrics in development and maintenance.Presented jointly with Marisa Hughes\, Taxonomist at the American Psychological Association.Dates: starting July 30Format: Pre-recorded on-demandand \n“Current Challenges and Advanced Taxonomy Topics” (Session C2)\nDescription: This panel will cover advanced taxonomy topics\, including common and current challenges taxonomists are facing in their jobs along with various business and use case discussions. The panel will also have career discussions around what separates a senior position from a junior position and how to take the next step in your taxonomy career. Participants will obtain a grasp of common and current challenges faced by taxonomists in their roles\, understand how to apply taxonomies in various advanced use cases\, know more about career paths for advanced taxonomists.Date: Sunday\, July 31\, 4:30 – 5:30 pm EDTFormat: In-person (and hybrid)and \n“Communities of Practice: Where Everybody Knows Your Name”(Session G4)\nDescription: Communities of Practice (CoPs) can be invaluable for connecting people with common goals and interests and facilitate the sharing of knowledge\, resources\, and more. Sharing best practices and knowledge can result in better ideas\, innovation\, and improved culture. Join this session to learn more about what a community of practice is\, considerations for designing and growing your CoP\, and strategies for success in maintaining a CoP.Date: Tuesday\, August 2\, 9:00 – 10:00 am EDTFormat: In-person (and hybrid)Organizer: SLA (Special Libraries Association) Annual ConferenceLocation: Charlotte Convention Center\, Charlotte\, NC (and online) \nClick the button below for more information about the conference and how to register.  \n \n Visit Event page URL:https://www.poolparty.biz/events/special-libraries-association-annual-conference-2022 CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.poolparty.biz/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/SLA2022-logo.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20220804T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20220804T160000 DTSTAMP:20260501T180521 CREATED:20220708T102454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250327T153247Z UID:149813-1659625200-1659628800@www.poolparty.biz SUMMARY:Webinar: Machine Learning Powered Semantic Web - Part II DESCRIPTION:ON-DEMAND WEBINAR \n \n \n \n \n \n Machine Learning Powered Semantic Web\nPart II\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n Anna Breit\, Researcher at Semantic Web Company \nVictor Mireles\, Researcher at Semantic Web Company \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In the first part of this series of webinars\, the Research Team at Semantic Web Company broke down the topic of SWeML aka Semantic Web enabled Machine Learning. This final part of the series will explore the opposite – in other words\, how Machine Learning (ML) has been applied to several common tasks in the Semantic Web world.  \nLed by Researchers Anna Breit and Victor Mireles at SWC\, the intended audience of this webinar is Semantic Web practitioners who wish to see insights derived from a study conducted over the last year. \nOur speakers will start with a brief introduction of what semantic web and machine learning are\, go on to describe the general steps of using Semantic Web technologies\, and present examples of how ML can be applied in these steps. The goal is to inspire the efficient usage of ML techniques for building\, querying and maintaining Knowledge Graphs and other SW resources. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Anna Breit\n Researcher at Semantic Web Company \n Anna Breit is a Research Engineer at the Semantic Web Company.

For this purpose\, different approaches will be compared and we will specifically address those recommenders that are based on knowledge graphs and semantic knowledge models. \nWe will explain the methodology for knowledge-based recommendations and show how we can apply taxonomies\, ontologies and rules to provide recommendations with different levels of expressivity. We also show how this methodology is realized in the PoolParty platform architecture using different software components. \nEspecially in knowledge-intensive workflows\, where decisions have to be made continuously\, users benefit from accurate suggestions. The business objects (documents\, experts\, products\, suppliers\, etc.) that best fit the respective context are automatically brought into the spotlight. The possible applications are manifold and we will go into numerous examples and demos and point out\, among others\, applications in the environment of HR management\, drug approval\, technical support for software or legal. \nThe webinar is aimed at AI and information architects\, knowledge managers\, UX specialists\, but also directly at department managers who are responsible for better support\, more efficient process management or accurate risk management in their areas. \nThe core topics and questions that Robert David (CTO\, Semantic Web Company) and Andreas Blumauer (Co-founder & CEO\, Semantic Web Company) will address in this webinar are: \n– Why are recommender systems essential for a successful digital transformation?– What are their potential and possible applications?– What methods are such systems based on\, and how can they be optimized?– How do you start a project to establish a recommender in your own environment? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Andreas Blumauer\n CEO & Co-founder at Semantic Web Company \n Andreas Blumauer is CEO and co-founder of Semantic Web Company (SWC)\, the provider and developer of the PoolParty Semantic Platform.
