Nanopublication Tutorial at ESWC 2025
Nanopublications are a rapidly growing technology, fully based on Semantic Web standards and principles. At this tutorial, participants are introduced to the concept and then immediately get hands-on experience in creating and publishing their own nanopublications as well as querying and using the available content. The tutorial covers how to create nanopublications manually via web forms and automatically via software libraries, how to retrieve published nanopublications from the decentralized network, how to craft own web forms via templates, how to query the network with SPARQL, and how trust and communities are handled. Moreover, participants get brief introductions into a selection of existing systems and approaches that are based on this technology. The attendees will get supervision and advice from the core people driving the nanopublication technology, and will have time during the tutorial to make some first concrete steps in applying it to their areas of interest. At the end, attendees will have a comprehensive basic foundation on the theory and practice of nanopublication technology.
