A tutorial about the semantic data enrichment was presented as part of the tutorial programme of the Fabrics of Knowledge: Knowledge Graphs and Generative AI Conference, on 26-30 May 2024, in Hersonissos, Crete, Greece.
This tutorial introduces the topic of semantic data enrichment, covering theoretical and practical considerations. In particular, it explains the role that semantics play in data enrichment for downstream AI-based applications, a review of the advantages and limitations of tools, methodologies, and techniques for semantic data enrichment available today, and a practical dive into the creation of data transformations for enriching the data.
The tutorial was presented by Matteo Palmonari and Flavio De Paoli from the University of Milan-Bicocca and Roberto Avogadro from SINTEF. They discussed the role of tabular data annotation solutions to support data enrichment pipelines based on a link & extend paradigm focusing on two main aspects that must be considered: the need for interactive exploration mechanisms to support the definition of the pipelines and for solutions that can scale data enrichment pipelines. They demonstrated different results of enRichMyData such as Alligator, SemTUI, and Tao.
The tutorial was intended for researchers with expertise in semantic technologies, for young researchers that recently joined the semantic web community and for data scientists and data engineers.
The Extended Semantic Web Conference is a major venue for discussing the latest scientific results and technology innovations around semantic technologies. Besides the technical program organized over numerous tracks, the 2024th edition of the conference featured a workshop and tutorial program, system descriptions and demos, a posters exhibition and a doctoral symposium.
