Title : The Essence of "Dutchness"

Presenter Marieke van Erp
Abstract In this talk I will explain the problem of dealing with the multifacetedness of named entities. This problem surfaces in linguistic expressions referring to named entities, in particular geo-political entities, and so far, models in the computational linguistics community have only dealt with it partially. I will also elaborate on why it is important to tackle this problem for knowledge representation and retrieval of information.

Title : A short introduction to Metis/SEALINC Media/Me

Presenter Chris Dijkshoorn
Abstract I will give a short introduction to the two COMMIT projects I am currently involved with, Metis and SEALINC Media. Metis is a project which aims to integrate heterogenous maritime information sources. The goal of SEALINC Media is to provide access to socially-­enriched linked cultural media. For both projects I will introduce one of the use cases. Since I am a new PhD student I will also tell something about myself.
