#eswc2026 — Public Fediverse posts

Are there events to not miss at the Esports World Cup? I don't know much about most of the games, but I would be interested to watch live or in replay some particularly spectacular matches

Bright sea through the trees,
Hard to stand and turn away,
Home comes way too soon.

Heavy clouds gather —
Rocks hold what the sea forgets.
We leave, the shore stays.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very proud to see Guillaume and Ndeye-Emilie, two of my PhD students, awarded at #ESWC2026! Congratulations to them!

Atanas Kiryakov, President of Graphwise, in his keynote at ESWC points out a merging advantage of (re-)using public ontologies: LLMs already know these ontologies, which increases the interoperability of the data by making use of knowledge graphs as context easier and cheaper.

Very nice, the main-conference proceedings are already available during the conference.
📕🔒 ESWC 2026 Proceedings Part 1: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-25156-5

Unfortunately they are not open access. But as usual, the conference website will provide the camera ready PDFs, too. Research, Resource, and In-Use papers are available there.

Already yesterday, I presented at the ESWC 2026 Pre-Conference in the Knowledge Graphs for Sustainability Workshop (KG4S) the Design-for-Circularity Ontology (D4CO). Related artifacts are available online.

Good morning Dubrovnik! ESWC 2026 - the 23rd European Semantic Web Conference is starting today. Looking forward to visionary and inspiring keynotes, presentations, and posters, esp. addressing the question on how #SemanticWeb technologies will survive (or even prevail...) the current 3rd wave of #AI

Recently, I was discussing about the pros and cons of different unit ontologies. However, I was not able to really express, why I am in favor of an ontology, which not only provides the direct conversion factors between units for direct application, but also provides the explanation for these values. In her keynote, Maria-Esther Vidal provided an explanation for my intuition (free after Aristotle): "We think we know a thing only when we know its cause." #eswc2026 #UnitsOfMeasurement #Ontologies

European Semantic Web Conference is about to start. I am looking forward to an exciting and inspiring event. #eswc2026 @eswc_conf

Travelling without moving, part 2

Glass holds back the sea —
one shoe rests where the tide ends,
evening forgets me.

Dear #ESWC2026 crowd, there is decent Espresso available close to the conference site. At Restaurant & Bar Levanat (5 minutes down the beach promenade) you can enjoy a decent coffee with sea view.

Travelling without moving… for most of the time travelling by air means just waiting ;-)

On my way to #eswc2026 to Dubrovnik. Looking forward to meet the #semanticweb research family again! ESWC has never been to Dubrovnik before, so let the adventure begin (on Sunday).
