Bright sea through the trees,
Hard to stand and turn away,
Home comes way too soon.

Heavy clouds gather —
Rocks hold what the sea forgets.
We leave, the shore stays.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Atanas Kiryakov, President of Graphwise, in his keynote at ESWC points out a merging advantage of (re-)using public ontologies: LLMs already know these ontologies, which increases the interoperability of the data by making use of knowledge graphs as context easier and cheaper.

Very nice, the main-conference proceedings are already available during the conference.
📕🔒 ESWC 2026 Proceedings Part 1: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-25156-5

Already yesterday, I presented at the ESWC 2026 Pre-Conference in the Knowledge Graphs for Sustainability Workshop (KG4S) the Design-for-Circularity Ontology (D4CO). Related artifacts are available online.

Good morning Dubrovnik! ESWC 2026 - the 23rd European Semantic Web Conference is starting today. Looking forward to visionary and inspiring keynotes, presentations, and posters, esp. addressing the question on how #SemanticWeb technologies will survive (or even prevail...) the current 3rd wave of #AI
