DiTraRe: AI on a Spider's Web. Interweaving Disciplines for Digitalisation

Description

Abstract (English)

The recently established Leibniz Science Campus “Digital Transformation of Research” (DiTraRe) investigates the effects of a broadly understood process of digitalisation of research on a multilevel scale. The project concentrates on four research clusters concerning different topics and gathering use cases from varying scientific areas. For a multi-scale investigation these research clusters are interwoven with four dimensions, each of which approaches the tasks from a different perspective and poses its own research questions. Within this “spider’s web” we are not only developing practical solutions for each use case but also seeking to find generalisations valuable to the scientific community as well as society in general. Sophisticated AI technologies, like natural language processing, knowledge extraction, and ontology engineering, are investigated within the DiTraRe project by the dimension Exploration and knowledge organisation. This position paper aims to describe the DiTraRe Science Campus in general as well as concentrate on its aforementioned dimension concerning implementation of AI techniques.
