The meeting is organisied and hosted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches GeoFor- schungsZentrum GFZ. Meeting Venue The 67th Annual Meeting of the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology will be hosted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ in Potsdam, Germany, September 5 -11, 2015. The meeting venue is Building H at the Telegrafenberg in Pots- dam. Prior to the meeting, an ICCP Training Course „Organic Petrology in Industrial Applications“ will be organized. Potsdam The city of Potsdam directly borders the German capital Berlin and is part of the Berlin/Branden- burg Metropolitan Region. Potsdam is the capi- tal of the German Federal State of Brandenburg and has about 160.000 inhabitants. It is situa- ted at the river Havel. Potsdam was a residence of the Prussian kings and the German Kaiser, until 1918. Around the city there are a series of interconnected lakes and cultural landmarks, in particular the parks and palaces of Sanssouci, the largest World He- ritage Site in Germany. The Potsdam Conference, the major Post-World War II conference between the victorious Allies, was held at another palace in the area, the Ce- cilienhof. Babelsberg, in the south-eastern part of Pots- dam, was a major film production studio before the war and has enjoyed success as a major cen- ter of European film production since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

  • Where Is My URI?
    Where is my URI? Andre Valdestilhas1, Tommaso Soru1, Markus Nentwig2, Edgard Marx3, Muhammad Saleem1, and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo4 1 AKSW Group, University of Leipzig, Germany {valdestilhas,tsoru,saleem}@informatik.uni-leipzig.de 2 Database Group, University of Leipzig, Germany [email protected] 3 Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, Germany [email protected] 4 Data Science Group, Paderborn University, Germany [email protected] Abstract. One of the Semantic Web foundations is the possibility to dereference URIs to let applications negotiate their semantic content. However, this exploitation is often infeasible as the availability of such information depends on the reliability of networks, services, and human factors. Moreover, it has been shown that around 90% of the information published as Linked Open Data is available as data dumps and more than 60% of endpoints are offline. To this end, we propose a Web service called Where is my URI?. Our service aims at indexing URIs and their use in order to let Linked Data consumers find the respective RDF data source, in case such information cannot be retrieved from the URI alone. We rank the corresponding datasets by following the rationale upon which a dataset contributes to the definition of a URI proportionally to the number of literals. We finally describe potential use-cases of applications that can immediately benefit from our simple yet useful service. Keywords: Link Discovery; Linked Data; Endpoints; URI; Dereferencing 1 Introduction In the Web of Data, applications such as Link Discovery or Data Integration frameworks need to know where a specific URI is located.

  • AEN Secretariat General Update
    AGM – 27 April 2017 Agenda Item 12 (i) Action required – for information AEN Secretariat General Update Secretariat Update The AEN Secretariat is situated within Western Sydney University, having transitioned from Deakin University in late 2015. The current Secretariat Officer is Rohan McCarthy-Gill, having taken over this role upon the departure of Caroline Reid from Western Sydney University in August 2016. There has been some impact upon the AEN Secretariat’s business operations due to staffing changes and shortages within Western Sydney University’s international office. However, as at March 2017, operations have largely normalised. The Secretariat is scheduled to move to Edith Cowan University in November 2017 and very preliminary discussions have started between Western Sydney University and Edith Cowan University around this transition. AEN-UN Agreement After the process of renewal, the AEN-UN Agreement renewal was finalised on 4 July 2016, upon final signature by the President of the Utrecht Network. AEN Website The AEN website continues to pose some challenges and due to technical problems and resourcing issues in the AEN Secretariat there is still some work that needs to be done to enhance it. This is scheduled for the second half of 2017. A superficial update of the website was conducted in late 2016, including an update of process instructions and tools for AEN members, contact details and FAQs. Macquarie University The AEN Secretariat was notified by Macquarie University on 31 October 2016 that, due to a realignment of the University’s mobility partnerships with its strategic priorities, that it would withdraw from the AEN consortium, with effect from 1 January 2017.
