KNoWS Monthly Query Research Updates
The KNoWS research group at Ghent University presents monthly query research updates.
The goal of these updates is to share the research we have ongoing across the different people (~6) working on query-related topics. These research topics are related to improving the way we query over Web-based decentralized environments, with SPARQL, RDF, Solid, and more. It allows researchers to share recent developments, discuss open challenges, and announce research results to a wider audience.
The target audience of this channel consists of other researchers in related domains, but also the wider public that are interested in this field for non-research aims.
🧩 Format
Within every progress update, each KNoWS researcher has a 5-minute slot to present the overall research goal, achievements from the previous month, and goals for the next month. After each researcher, we have a brief group discussion among all participants. Sometimes, guests may also be invited for presenting or contributing to discussions.
🖥️ How to watch
The monthly updates are livestreamed to our YouTube channel. All recordings are kept available for future reference in this YouTube channel.
