The 4th Workshop at INFORMATIK2020, October 2020

On October 2, INFORMATIK2020 will host the 4th ORKG workshop. For centuries, scholarly work has been communicated using documents, in print and more recently in digital PDF documents. Given the current proliferation of scholarly literature and the increasing effort required to digest the literature even in narrow areas of research, it is time to rethink scholarly communication. The Open Research Knowledge Graph aims to capture key scholarly knowledge published in articles in a structured manner and enable novel and innovative services for scholarly knowledge processing. In this 4th Workshop on Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG2020) we will provide a brief overview of the initiative and an overview of the latest ORKG service developments, and hear about related work in lightning talks.

If you are interested in contributing a (lightning) talk or have other suggestions please contact us.

Note that the annual conference as well as the workshop are free of charge, but you need to register.
