Second Call for Participation
(optional check-in date extended to 30th June, 2021)
Build mobile semantic apps. Solve problems. Win prizes!
A joint team of researchers from MIT, Dalhousie University,
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Politecnico di Bari are
organizing a Semantic Web Challenge at the 20th International
Semantic Web Conference, focused on building semantically-enabled
mobile apps using the MIT Punya
platform
<https://punya.mit.edu>.
Top projects will have the opportunity to present their projects
at ISWC. Moreover, up to US$ 1000 will be split among the top
projects as assessed by the judges and organizers! See
https://punya.mit.edu/challenge/ for more, or keep reading on
below.
MIT Punya is a drag-and-drop web-based platform for building
mobile apps for Android (iOS forthcoming). The team has prepared a
number of Punya tutorials:
* Rdf
Notepad
<http://punya.appinventor.mit.edu/?repo=RdfNotepad>
* Sleep
Apnea
<http://punya.appinventor.mit.edu/?repo=SleepApnea>
* LDP
CoAP
<http://punya.appinventor.mit.edu/?repo=LdpCoapTutorial>
Additional material can be found in our ISWC 2020
tutorial
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CJ-uecwaE5kGDX6QFHuZCIwyVlcWJCQ4Xd6iwEfwxZs/edit>,
including an elaboration on the Linked Data components, notes on
map visualization and machine learning, and a mobile app for
detecting contra-indicated
drugs
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CJ-uecwaE5kGDX6QFHuZCIwyVlcWJCQ4Xd6iwEfwxZs/edit#heading=h.re1b9f7obf18>.
Apps should tackle relevant and challenging real-world scenarios
that impact health, the environment, and society. Suggested themes
include, but are not limited to: Social Good, Better Resource
Allocation (e.g., water scarcity, natural disaster response),
Climate Change, Ending Poverty, Health Care (e.g.,COVID-19, mental
health), Learning and Working Remotely, Living Together, Active
Aging, Social and Racial Justice, and Social Impact of Artificial
Intelligence (e.g., biases, opportunities, equitability).
Some concrete examples include mobile patient diaries in
healthcare, apps to populate geographical information systems,
capture provenance metadata (e.g., ecology, geology), help with
disaster management and humanitarian aid, perform experience
sampling in psychology, and engage the public (ranging from
crowdsourcing of nuisances to direct democracy initiatives).
Participants will build an intelligent mobile app using the Punya
framework that connects with online Linked Data sources and
services, nearby IoT devices or on-device sensors, and/or
implement expert system features, by producing, consuming, and
processing Linked Data. The challenge participants will be
expected to utilize at least two Punya Linked Data components.
Moreover, participants may extend the Punya framework itself with
new Linked Data components, or extend existing ones.
Apps are due by July 15, 2021 with an optional check-in on June
30, 2021. Results will be announced August 15, 2021.
