Dear members of the OSM Science mailing list,

As the GISRUK Seminar Series Chair it gives me great please to let you
know about the following seminar. This seminar will be of interest to
many members of the OpenStreetMap community.

The GISRUK (GIS Research UK) committee are delighted to announce the
first seminar in the GISRUK Online Seminar Series 2021 where we
welcome Prof. Dr. Elena Demidova, (Twitter) University of Bonn,
Germany who will talk about "Semantic geographic knowledge on a
world-scale – interlinking OpenStreetMap and knowledge graphs". The
seminar will take place, online, on Thursday 25th March 2021 at 14:00
– 15:00 UTC.

Lecture Summary

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a rich source of openly available volunteered
geographic information on a world scale. However, representations of
geographic entities in OSM are highly diverse and incomplete.
Knowledge graphs (i.e. graph-based knowledge repositories) such as
Wikidata, EventKG, and DBpedia are a rich source of contextual
semantic information about geographic entities. For example, Wikidata
contains over six million geographic entities, including locations,
points of interest, mountain peaks, etc. Whereas knowledge graphs
provide a wide range of complementary semantic information for
geographic entities, interlinking between knowledge graphs and OSM is
insufficient with the links mainly manually defined by volunteers.
This lecture will introduce emerging approaches that address tighter
integration of OSM and knowledge graphs; it gives particular attention
to link discovery and semantic enrichment of OSM datasets.

This online event is completely free to attend but registration in
advance is essential. Registered participants will receive joining
details (Zoom link, seminar format, etc.) via email before the event.
