The 2nd Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD-17) will be held from June 26th to 30th 2017 at Residencia Lucas Olazábal of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Cercedilla, Madrid.
The SD-LLOD datathon has the main goal of giving people from industry and academia practical knowledge in the field of Linked Data applied to Linguistics. The final aim is to allow participants to migrate their own (or other’s) linguistic data and publish them as Linked Data on the Web. This datathon series is unique in its topic worldwide and continues from the success of the event two years ago (see http://datathon.lider-project.eu/). This edition is supported by the ReTeLe Spanish excellence network funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness and by the Early Career Research Group "Linked Open Dictionaries (LiODi)" funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

During the datathon, seminars will be organised to cover topics such as:
With the objective of avoiding passive learning, the program of the summer datathon will contain three types of sessions:
Participants will be invited to propose a “miniproject” related to the topic and to bring to the datathon some dataset of linguistic data produced by their organizations in order to work on it during the hacking sessions and transform it into linked data. Participants who cannot provide their own linguistic dataset can join another’s miniproject or some of the ones proposed by the organisers. There will be an award to the best miniproject.
Participants should bring their own laptops to follow the hacking sessions, but they will be provided with digital copies of all the material used during the course and will have assistance for installing all the required software.
Asun Gómez-Pérez, Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation and Doctoral Studies and Full Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), will inaugurate the datathon with a talk titled “Linked data for language technologies”

I am a lecturer above-the-bar at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at the National University of Ireland Galway. I am currently working with Paul Buitelaar in the Unit for Natural Language Processing. My main research has focused around the development of linguistic linked open data and in particular the development of models for the representation of lexical resources, by means of the lemon and OntoLex models.

As Professor of Computer Science at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, I am heading the Applied Computational Linguistics (ACoLi) lab since 2013, and the early career group "Linked Open Dictionaries (LiODi)". My research focuses on semantic technologies, including computational semantics as well as the innovative application of Semantic Web standards to problems in NLP and Digital Hmanities.

We welcome participants from anywhere in the world and coming from industry or academia. Some basic acquaintance with software development and Web technologies is required. Participants are expected to participate fully in the activities of the datathon until its conclusion.
Registration is now closed. The registration fee will be 490€ and will include accommodation (individual room at the venue), meals, and social events.
If you want to propose a topic for a mini-project in the datathon (e.g., a language resource to be converted into linked data, a LLOD dataset to be linked to other resources, a use case description that exploits the LLOD cloud, ...) or want to report on some recent research related to the topics of the datathon, you can write a short description of your ideas (less than 1000 words), that you can either submit during the registration process or send to the organisers via email by 4th April. Some selected mini-project proposals and abstracts will be presented as posters during the event.
Registration opens: February, 1st 2017

The Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD-17) will be held at Cercedilla (Madrid), which is a small village in the mountains near Madrid.
The event will take place at the Residencia Lucas Olazábal of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, which is located in Cercedilla, in the forest of the Sierra de Guadarrama, in a place known as Las Dehesas de Cercedilla, which is 50km from Madrid, and 15km from Navacerrada (Directions).
