The RENDER project participates in the ESWC EU Project Networking session.

The RENDER project is sponsoring this year’s ESWC.

RENDER research has made it twice into the “Wikipedia Signpost“:

• The first article covers the upcoming event “Wikipedia Academy 2012” and mentions both papers of the Render team that have been accepted there. Read the full article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-06-25/Recent_research
• The second article presents the work on revert detection where the RENDER project is also working on. Read the full article here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2012-05-28#New_algorithm_provides_better_revert_detection

The RENDER project was presented during the EU project networking session co-located with the 9th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2012).

As a result of the networking session, points of potential collaboration were identified and RENDER established contact with a number of EU projects:

• X-LIKE (Cross-lingual Knowledge Extraction),
• ENVISION (ENVIronmental Services Infrastructure with ONtologies),
• LOD2 (Creating Knowledge out of Interlinked Data),
• ViSTA-TV (Video Stream Analytics for Viewers in the TV Industry),
• IKS (Interactive Knowledge Stack).

Check out the Wikipedia Map Interface developed by RENDER! The map is generated out of all geotagged articles in a dozen different language Wikipedias. The dynamic interface allows to zoom into the map and check out the individual articles. The different languages display a strong bias over the different languages.
