The Open Data and Ontologies for Cultural Heritage (ODOCH) aims at bringing together researchers in Semantic Web and Digital Humanities to discuss results and experiences on the design, development and use of ontology-based information systems for Cultural Heritage (Linked) Open Data. While significantly differing from the scope of workshops held in previous CAiSE events, ODOCH’19 will fit the CAiSE’19 theme of Responsible Information Systems, by providing a forum that will emphasize the need for a trustworthy spread of Cultural Heritage.

ODOCH’19 aims at attracting both IT researchers and industrials, already participating to the main conference, who are eager to discover new domains of application of their research, and professionals of humanities who will recognize in ODOCH’19 and, likely for the first time, in CAiSE, the chance to explore new opportunities. ODOCH’19 will be held in Rome, on June 3rd, 2019, in conjunction with the 31st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE’19). As CAiSE’19, it will be hosted by Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica, Automatica e Gestionale Antonio Ruberti at Sapienza Università  di Roma.

workshop "Linked Data quality assessment and improvement - from academia to industry"
There is an unprecedented amount of data on the Web today. However, this data is only as  useful as its quality allows it to be. Data Quality is an important topic in companies and organizations that use and/or disseminate large and heterogeneous Linked Datasets. These issues do not only arise in Linked Open Data, but also in Linked Business Data. At the same time, researchers are coping with Linked Data Quality issues as well, and have defined, proposed and evaluated approaches and methodologie...
