Our researcher Fabian Kirstein co-organized a tutorial at the renowned International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in cooperation with Prof. Elena Simperl (King’s College London), Prof. Oscar Corcho (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and Dr. Luis-Daniel Ibáñez (University of Southampton).
The tutorial provided attendees with a review of the cross-link between Semantic Web and the public sector, introduced two current E-Government initiatives and how they are making use of Semantic Web technologies, and provided hands-on experience on the knowledge graphs created by them, that have the potential to be valuable resources for the community.

We are very happy, that our paper “Blockchain for Trustworthy Publication and Integration of Linked Open Data” by our researcher Fabian Kirstein and director Manfred Hauswirth was accepted at the International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP).
In the paper we present a blockchain-based approach for creating an integrated, traceable, and timely view on Linked Open Data. We use Linked Open Government Data (LOGD) as our case study to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach. We developed a prototype to address the specific requirements of LOGD publication and applied the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithm at its core to enable a robust state replication.

At EGOV 2021, the scientific conference on e-government, open government, eParticipation and e-democracy, our research group succeeded in placing two scientific papers.
With »Ronda: Real-time Data Provision, Processing and Publication for Open Data«, Fabian Kirstein, Dario Bacher, Vincent Bohlen and Sonja Schimmler presented a framework for the integration and provision of real-time data. The goal is to practically process the increasing amount of rapidly changing data, such as timetables or weather data, and make it available with a specialised user interface.
