Semantic Web in R for Data Scientists (eRum 2020 Workshop)
This workshop offered a hands-on approach to Semantic Web technologies in R by exemplifying how to work with Wikidata and DBpedia in different ways. We start simple (using the Wikidata API, for example) and then slowly progress towards more advanced topics (e.g. your first SPARQL query from R and why it is not as complicated as people think, matching your data set against Wikidata entities in order to enrich it, and similar).
We show how to process the Wikidata JSON dump from R for those interested to play big games with R and the Semantic Web.

My talk at Hipkon Lajt 2020, Belgrade: how semantic graphs like Wikidata or DBpedia support both AI and data enrichment.
We bridge the gap between tabular data (like in R or Python) and semantic formats using RDF and SPARQL.
It’s easier and more accessible than it seems!
