    Knowledge Graph enabled Curation and Exploration of Nuremberg's City Heritage
    (Aachen, Germany : RWTH Aachen, 2021) Tietz, Tabea; Bruns, Oleksandra; Göller, Sandra; Razum, Matthias; Dessì, Danilo; Sack, Harald; Paschke, Adrian; Rehm, Georg; Al Qundus, Jamal; Neudecker, Clemens; Pintscher, Lydia
    An important part in European cultural identity relies on European cities and in particular on their histories and cultural heritage. Nuremberg, the home of important artists such as Albrecht Dürer and Hans Sachs developed into the epitome of German and European culture already during the Middle Ages. Throughout history, the city experienced a number of transformations, especially with its almost complete destruction during World War 2. This position paper presents TRANSRAZ, a project with the goal to recreate Nuremberg by means of an interactive 3D tool to explore the city's architecture and culture ranging from the 17th to the 21st century. The goal of this position paper is to discuss the ongoing work of connecting heterogeneous historical data from various sources previously hidden in archives to the 3D model using knowledge graphs for a scientifically accurate interactive exploration on the Web.

    The Latin America Early Career Earth System Scientist Network (LAECESS): addressing present and future challenges of the upcoming generations of scientists in the region
    (London : Springer Nature, 2022) Yáñez-Serrano, Ana María; Aguilos, Maricar; Barbosa, Cybelli; Bolaño-Ortiz, Tomás Rafael; Carbone, Samara; Díaz-López, Stephanie; Diez, Sebastián; Dominutti, Pamela; Engelhardt, Vanessa; Gomes Alves, Eliane; Pedraza, Jenniffer; Saturno, Jorge; Tzompa-Sosa, Zitely A.
    Early career (EC) Earth system scientists in the Latin America and the Caribbean region (LAC) have been facing several issues, such as limited funding opportunities, substandard scientific facilities, lack of security of tenure, and unrepresented groups equality issues. On top of this, the worsening regional environmental and climatic crises call for the need for this new generation of scientists to help to tackle these crises by increasing public awareness and research. Realizing the need to converge and step up in making a collective action to be a part of the solution, the Latin America Early Career Earth System Scientist Network (LAECESS) was created in 2016. LAECESS’s primary goals are to promote regional networking, foster integrated and interdisciplinary science, organize soft skills courses and workshops, and empower Latin American EC researchers. This article is an initial step towards letting the global science community grasp the current situation and hear the early career LAC science community’s perspectives. The paper also presents a series of future steps needed for better scientific and social development in the LAC region.
