Connecting the Knowledge Ecosystem Founded in 2019 at Columbia University, The Knowledge Graphs Conference is emerging as the premiere source of learning around knowledge graph technologies. We believe knowledge graphs are an underutilized yet essential force for solving complex societal challenges like climate change, democratizing access to knowledge and opportunity, and capturing business value made possible by the AI revolution. KGC bridges the gap between industry, which is increasingly recognizing the necessity of integrated data, and academia, where semantic technologies have been developing for over twenty years. Our events, education, content, and community efforts facilitate meaningful exchange between diverse groups, and increase awareness, development and adoption of this powerful technology. Conference – bridging the gap between research and industry We organize workshops and tutorials to progress a number of Tech4Good themes, targeting objectives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. At our most recent conference, 530 attendees participated, representing over thirty industries across forty-two countries. Speakers ranged from Bell Labs pioneer John Sowa to Morgan Stanley, AstraZeneca, and leading academics from Europe and USA. A variety of workshops and tutorials were also given, including several on tech4good themes–from the UN SDGs to personal health graphs and fake news. KGC Vision and Values Our goal is to build the community and become a leading source of learning around knowledge graphs. We will achieve this by engaging and convening industry leaders and innovators, across sectors. We will focus on the diversity of perspectives: Industry diversity Professional Diversity: Industry practitioners, Business Users, Faculty, Scientists, Students Gender & Age diversity Geographical diversity We will gather, share and publish content to increase learning. We will build the community online and in-person through our content, meetups and conferences.

Masterclass: KG Infrastructure with Wikibase and Question Answering

1h 24m

In this workshop we are going to use Wikibase (the software that runs behind Wikidata) to

1) construct a Knowledge Graph about the KG Conference itself,
2) construct a question answering system on top of it.

The goal of the workshop is to show how Wikibase can be used as an infrastructure for Knowledge Graphs and how it can be used to construct Question Answering systems on top of the modelled data.

Participants will be able to model themself in the KG by reusing concepts of Wikidata and ask questions like: ""Who is coming from the US?"", ""Who knows about RDF?"", ""Who organizes the KG Conference?"", ""What are talks by Max De Wilde?"".
