By chance I've just discovered my 2021 keynote at the GNDCon 2.0 (not as usual at the German National Library in Frankfurt, but online due to COVID19) entitled "Die Welt ist klein und man trifft sich immer zweimal..." (It's a small world and you always meet twice...)

Everywhere you look, you can find traces of the ancient Roman civilization from which the modern West descends. That's especially true if you happen to be looking in Europe, though echoes of Latin make themselves heard in major languages used all over the world.

We are happy to welcome @cthoyt from RWTH in today's #nfdicore playground talking about "Bridging the Gap from Biomedical to Domain-Agnostic Semantics".

Besides others, he is demonstrating that our #nfdicore ontology is registered at Semantic Farm (= an open source, domain-agnostic, community curated semantic space registry, meta-registry, and compact identifier resolver.)
