Today the kickoff meeting of our project course "Telling Data Stories with Semantic Technologies and Generative AI" in collaboration with Academy of Sciences & Literature, Mainz, took place, introducing the general topic and our dedicated course software & research data infrastructure. Stay tuned for news & updates ;-)

In our ISE seminar today our colleague Hossein Beygi Nasrabadi is presenting the current state of the #NFDIMatWerk ontology - MWO. In the beginning, he is introducing two large #materialsscience related projects on digitalisation and research data management: Platform Material Digital (PMD) and NFDI-MatWerk.

#IchForscheGernInWien #TopForschungWien #Wien
Last week we launched a campaign to highlight research in Vienna by telling our own "research stories", which I gladly would like to highlight again - this time in English 
As professor of Data and Knowledge Engineering at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, I do research in the field of Artificial Intelligence and intelligent data integration with the aim of making the increasingly unmanageable amounts of data usable for both humans *and* machines. As a focus technology we particularly investigate the role #knowledgegraphs in combining symbolic and subsymbolic AI.
Times have become more difficult and darker for research in many countries. Here in Vienna, the conditions for science and research have constantly improved over the last years. I am convinced that this will continue and that the corresponding efforts and support will be even greater in the future. As a member of the Viennese research community, I will actively participate in this endeavour.
Because I like living and researching in Vienna: being originally from Vienna, after several years abroad, roughly 15 years ago I returned and found a new "old" home, with lots of colleagues not only amongst researchers, but also in the public adminstration, in my university and research funding agencies who *care* to improve the conditions for researchers, create new opportunities and networks. Thanks to all these people, it is especially important in times like these to #standtogether for believing in and advancing #science!

Für die Forschung sind die Zeiten in vielen Ländern schwieriger und finsterer geworden. Hier in Wien wurden die Bedingungen für Wissenschaft und Forschung in den letzten Jahren immer besser. Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass das auch so bleibt und dass die entsprechenden Anstrengungen und Unterstützungen in Zukunft noch stärker ausfallen werden. Als Mitglied der Wiener Forschungscommunity werde ich daran mitwirken. Denn ich lebe und forsche gerne in Wien!

We did it! We selected the 61 best students from the overall more than 100 applications. Due to always possible visa issues and other unfortunate circumstances for late cancellations, we've also created a waiting list for potential additional candidates. Congratulations to all of you!!
Looking forward to meeting you all in Bertinoro in June!
TOOL: ResearchSpace 4.0.0 is an open-source platform that leverages knowledge graphs to integrate narratives and data, enhancing the contextualization of cultural heritage research. By employing semantic expressions and ontologies like CIDOC CRM, it allows for dynamic and interconnected representations of complex historical information. Could this be the future of digital humanities research?
This week's #ITOps Query episode is out! In the eyes of #CNCF TAG #observability leader Matt Young, #GNNs, #knowledgegraphs and #GraphRAG will boost IT operations and create 3D views of apps and infrastructure. #AI #genai #o11y #aiobservability

We are very happy that our colleage @GenAsefa has contributed the chapter on "Neurosymbolic Methods for Dynamic Knowledge Graphs" for the newly published Handbook on Neurosymbolic AI and Knowledge Graphs together with Mehwish Alam and Pierre-Henri Paris.

On Friday we’ll be discussing Web API ecosystems with feature-based reuse in our course on #KnowledgeGraphs, in the lecture on Web APIs.
This paper by Michel Dumontier and @rubenverborgh was written back in 2018, but still extremely relevant today.
