Proto-OKN Masterclass Series

Below are the Proto-OKN Masterlass Series videos:

Cogan Shimizu discusses the Prototype Open Knowledge Network (Proto-OKN) and the Education Gateway (EduGate) project, which serves as an entry point to the Proto-OKN and is built upon the Curriculum Knowledge Graph (KG), a growing repository of educational materials.

Pascal Hitzler gives a brief overview of the 25+ years of history of the Semantic Web field. The field gained major traction in the early 2000s, with emphasis on research and applications of ontologies. Emphasis then shifted the Linked Data, published on the Web, in the late 00’s, before the rise of a more comprehensive and integrated paradigm referred to as knowledge graphs, in the early 2010s. We close the overview with a brief discussion of the promises of Large Language Models in the context of Knowledge Graph and Ontology Engineering.

Farhad Ameri and Amar Yadav share information about the Supply and Demand Open Knowledge Network (SUDOKN)’s structure, function, and capabilities. Sample use cases are also discussed.
