I was very excited (as folks could tell) and honored about having given the keynote at @iswc_conf this year in Nara, Japan. Thanks everyone for their very kind reception of the talk! Thanks for inviting me!

I was talking about Wikipedia and the Semantic Web - 20 years of co-development and the future, sketching out how the two have and keep influencing each other.

The presentation will be online on Video Lectures in the next few weeks.

We had a blast at #ISWC2025 – plenty of great insights and amazing people. We also brought a contribution of our own!

📝 Our CTO Piotr Sowiński presented a poster on Jelly-Patch – a super-fast format for recording changes in RDF datasets. It's one of the crucial pieces for our upcoming streaming neurosymbolic AI platform. Poster and paper linked in a comment below.

The order of presentations for the "S15: KGs and LLMs" session has been changed. The first presentation was changed to a video presentation and then moved to the last.

A huge thank you to Denny Vrandečić

He highlighted how #SemanticWeb ideas shaped #SemanticMediaWiki, #DBpedia, and #Wikidata - now the world’s most-edited wiki!
