DESCRIPTION:## Description\n\nUnderwater cultural heritage is fragile and o
 ften invisible — not only beneath the sea\, but buried in PDFs\, scatter
 ed archives\, and disconnected databases. While LLMs can generate summarie
 s\, they do not preserve structured\, verifiable knowledge over time. Rela
 tional tables store records\, but struggle to capture complex relationship
 s such as trade routes\, ocean currents\, artifacts\, and cross-border exc
 hange.\n\nThis talk proposes modeling underwater heritage as an open knowl
 edge graph — not as a product\, but as shared\, open infrastructure for 
 cultural memory.\n\nThese ideas align with open knowledge ecosystems such 
 as Wikidata and OpenStreetMap\, where structured\, linked data enables glo
 bal collaboration across communities and domains.\n\nRather than focusing 
 on specific tools\, the session introduces open modeling principles and li
 nked data concepts that make knowledge interoperable\, extensible\, and co
 mmunity-driven. We will also briefly demonstrate a minimal example using N
 eo4j as one practical implementation.\n\nTaiwan\, like Japan\, is shaped b
 y maritime history. What if we could structure this shared heritage as an 
 open\, cross-border knowledge graph — collaboratively maintained and glo
 bally connected?\n\n**At its core\, this talk asks:**\n\n**If knowledge mu
 st outlive tools\, models\, and vendors — where should it live?**\n\nThi
 s session is for beginners and anyone interested in open data\, linked dat
 a\, and meaningful knowledge design. All examples use open data and open t
 ools\, so you can explore and extend the approach yourself.\n\n## Outline 
 (30 minutes)\n\n1. Fragmented cultural data  \n2. Limits of PDFs\, tables\
 , and AI-generated summaries  \n3. Open knowledge graph and linked data pr
 inciples  \n4. Minimal example (Neo4j as one implementation)  \n5. Cross-b
 order and community-driven knowledge  \n\n## Key Takeaways\n\nParticipants
  will:\n\n- Understand why current approaches fail to capture complex rela
 tionships  \n- Learn how to model heritage as interconnected\, structured 
 data  \n- See a simple\, practical graph-based example  \n- Understand the
  role of open\, linked knowledge in global and cross-border collaboration
