In January 2025, we presented our research results from Prof Dr Ziegler's course on “Semantic Information Management” at the ETLTC conference at the partner university in Aizu Wakamatsu.
Researchers from different countries and cultures came together at this international conference, which gave us a colourful mix of presentations on a wide range of topics and many new insights into other areas of research. In addition, we were able to discuss our respective research topics with international students from Aizu University during poster sessions.
Presentations on the planned publications of the Master's students of the KMM programme at the ETLTC conference:
- ETLTC Paper ID # 97 – Standardized Generation of Semantic Domain Models from Content Management Metadata – Selina Sommer; Raphaela Erb; Maria Teichmann; Lejla Bratic; Sophia Kopf
- ETLTC Paper ID # 96 – Challenges and Opportunities of Semantic Information Management and Cross-Domain Linking in the Context of Manufacturing – Hannah Paproth; Selina Sommer; Sophia Kopf
- ETLTC Paper ID # 90 – Implementing Cross-Domain Linking of Service Information in the Aviation Security Sector – Maria Teichmann; Raphaela Erb; Judith Burger
- ETLTC Paper ID # 91 – Aligning the Provisioning of Product Information with Agile Software Development by Semantics and Correlation Rules – Sarina Muench; Katrin Eckert; Lejla Bratic
- ETLTC Paper ID # 93 – Industry-Academic Collaboration Projects on Semantics-based Content Provisioning and Linking in Technical Communication – Judith Burger; Sarina Muench; Hannah Paproth; Maria Teichmann; Sophia Kopf
- ETLTC Paper ID # 71 – Product Compatibility and Recommender Logics Using Open Data and Semantics: A Case Study in the Automotive Sector – Julian Stähle
We also went on a few excursions with the other conference participants so that we could get to know the surrounding area and Japanese culture better, for example by visiting Tsuruga Castle and the Aizu Sazaedo Temple as well as by taking part in a traditional tea ceremony.
One of the highlights was definitely getting together with the international students and conference participants in the evenings in the izakayas and ending the days with delicious Japanese food and good conversation.
We will also particularly remember all the snow and the Akabekos (a traditional red cow figurine that is known in Fukushima as a lucky charm to bring health and strength). During our time at the university in Aizu, we were able to gain new experiences and impressions, engage in professional and cultural dialogue, make valuable international contacts and even form new friendships. The trip combined scientific exchange with intercultural experiences and offered valuable insights into globally networked science.
