Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW)

The Research Group Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is hosted by the Chair of Business Information Systems (BIS) of the Institute of Computer Science (IfI) / University of Leipzig as well as the Institute for Applied Informatics (InfAI). It consists of the three subgroups Emergent Semantics, Machine Learning and Ontology Engineering, and Semantic Abstraction.

News

Semantic Pingback
This is an announcement of the technical report as well as three different implementations of Semantic Pingback. Semantic Pingback tackles the quality, timeliness and coherence as well as direct end user benefits of the emerging Linked Data Web. Semantic Pingback extends the well-known Pingback method, which is a technological cornerstone of the blogosphere. It is based on [...]

Studieninformationstag an der Leipzig School of Media
Die Leipzig School of Media bietet vier berufsbegleitende Masterstudiengänge auf Hochschulniveau im Medienbereich an. Darunter auch den vom Insitut für Informatik der Universität Leipzig betreuten Studiengang Content and Media Engineering, der Studenten an aktuelle IT-Entwicklungen wie z.B. semantische Technologien, E-Commerce und Wissensmanagement heranführt. Der Studiengang ist mit einmal monatlich stattfindenden geblockten Lehrveranstaltungen und einer starken [...]

Triplify 0.8 Released
We just released version 0.8 of the Triplify script, which includes the following feature enhancements and fixes: Triplify now supports the Semantic Pingback mechanism: It exposes a X-Pingback HTTP header field, it contains a XML-RPC service (also usable by conventional Pingback clients) and it exports Pingback statements along with the instance data. Fix: The cache ID is [...]

Goals

  • Development of methods, tools and applications for adaptive Knowledge Engineering in the context of the Semantic Web 
  • Research of underlying Semantic Web technologies and development of fundamental Semantic Web tools and applications
  • Maturation of strategies for fruitfully combining the Social Web paradigms with semantic knowledge representation techniques

AKSW is committed to the open source, open access and open knowledge movements.

Projects

AKSW has launched a number of high-impact R&D projects:

  • Triplify tackles the chicken-and-egg problem of the Semantic Web by providing a building block for the “semantification” of Web applications.
  • SoftWiki – distributed, end-user-centred Requirements Engineering for evolutionary software development
  • OntoWiki is a Semantic Data Wiki as well as an Application Framework providing support for agile, distributed knowledge engineering scenarios.
  • DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and make this information available on the Web.
  • DL-Learner tackles the problem of learning concepts / class expressions in Description Logics / OWL from examples.

Please look at the projects page for a comprehensive description of AKSW's funded as well as community and open source projects.

Demos
