2nd International DBpedia Community Meeting
Web URL: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/meetings/Leipzig2014
Submission of presentations open: http://goo.gl/LSwt4P
After the big success of the 1st DBpedia Community Meeting in Amsterdam with
more than 70 international participants, the second edition of the event will
take place in Leipzig, Germany, on September 3, 2014, co-located with the 10th
International Conference on Semantic Systems 2014.
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, also the DBpedia users.

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 published on the
DBpedia Website. Again, we also plan to have several break-out sessions for
trending DBpedia topics to enable further discussion on how to improve DBpedia.
Call for Contributions

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

==== About DBpedia ====
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.
Travel Grants / Sponsorship
=================
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: http://goo.gl/LSwt4P
Given we can acquire a sponsor, participants can apply for a travel grant here:
http://goo.gl/LSwt4P or email Adrian.
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.
We hope to see you all in Leipzig:
