Prof. Dr. Vera Meister presented the state of work and the development goals:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>fbwTube KG Editor:</b> For the video platform fbwTube, an easy-to-use editor is to be developed and integrated.
The current complex and error-prone processes for editing the knowledge base are to be supported and automated to
a large extent.</li>
<li><b>CoursePlan Interactive GUI:</b> Based on the knowledge schema of the Digital Module Catalog, an interactive app
is to be developed that effectively supports collaborative curriculum planning for the facultx. The focus is on the
real-time visualization of all relevant planning parameters.</li>
<li><b>AKWI Members Change Process:</b> A multi-step change process is to be developed for the implemented with jekyll RDF
AKWI member site, which in particular provides easily usable, integrated online forms for the contact persons on site.</li>

Authors of this paper are Vera Meister, Wenxin Hu, Emre Arkan and Hannes Günther. Wenxin presented the paper at the
conference and obviously did very well. This success is primarily due to the persistent pursuit of our innovative ideas
and the high commitment and inventiveness of the young developers - not least, however, also to the generous support of

<h2>AKWI Annual Conference Aachen</h2>
<p style="color:#969696">15.-18. September 2019</p>
<p>Marcel Cikus presented the paper "Kritische Reflexion eines experimentellen didaktischen Konzepts im Modul
Wirtschaftsinformatik 1 für BWL-Bachelor" (Critical Reflection of an Experimental Didactic Concept in the Module
Information Systems 1 for Business Administration Bachelor) at the AKWI symposium. The authors of the paper are Marcel Cikus and
Vera Meister, who systematically review their experiences with the method of problem-based learning and place them in
context with other didactic methods of Information Systems in Business Studies. The guiding principle for critical
reflection is formed by two competence requirements for Business Administration graduates who are derived stringently
from the requirements of Digital Transformation: (1) design competence at the interface between subject matter and IT
and (2) orientation in the potential design space.</p>
<p>In the higher education policy part of the conference Prof. Dr. Vera Meister presented the report of the AKWI spokesperson
and moderated a discussion with representatives of the Hochschullehrerbund (hlb) on the topic: 12plusOne -

<h2>BMaKE Workshop</h2>
<p style="color:#969696">5-7th of March 2019</p>
<p>During the semester break, a core team of the research group were concerned with the question of which approaches and technologies
can be used to achieve visual and interactive documentation of knowledge graph schemes. The automatic tools
(e.g. <a href="http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl.html" target="_blank">vowl</a>) and services
(e.g. <a href="http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-932/paper12.pdf" target="_blank">LODE</a>) used so far do not meet the requirements for functionality,
usability and reliability. A first concept and development approaches were discussed in brainstorming sessions lasting several days. </p>

<h2>Ideas for cooperation explored</h2>
<p style="color:#969696">13th of February 2019</p>
<p>In the course of Aleksandra Revina's (TU Berlin) cooperative doctoral procedure on "Analyzing AI Applications for Process Improvement:
Interplay of Human and Machine Intelligence", a first coordination meeting with Prof. Timm Teubner, head of the research group
<a href="https://www.tds.tu-berlin.de/menue/trust_in_digital_services/" target="_blank">Trust in Digital Services (TDS)</a>, was organized.
Ideas for scientific cooperation between the two research groups were sounded out. Electronic market platforms are the central research
object of the TDS. Research is carried out to determine which influences interface and mechanism design have on the perceptions and behaviour
of the actors, and how these parameters are ultimately reflected in prices and market events.</p>

<p>The topic of the seminar was the analysis of selected doctoral theses in the field of research. Prof. Vera Meister examined structure,
research questions and accompanying publications of Sebastian Tramp's doctoral thesis "Distributed Semantic Social Networks:
Architecture, Protocols, Applications". Wenxin Hu was concerned with the same goal to Sebastian Hellmann's doctoral thesis
"Integrating Natural Language Processing and Language Resources Using Linked Data". Both theses were submitted to the Institute of
Computer Science at the University of Leipzig in 2014/15. A slightly different approach was taken by Aleksandra Revina,
who compared two publications from 2015: "Five essays on Innovation Management through Venturing and Early Internationalization"
by Sebastian Fischer of the TU Berlin and "Matching Events and Activities. Preprocessing Event Logs for Process Analysis"
by Thomas Baier from the University of Potsdam. The first work follows the cumulative approach, the second is a monographic manuscript.
