About Me

I'm Stefan Zipproth, founder of acrion innovations GmbH in Switzerland. With over 25 years of experience in software development, I specialize in high-performance C++ solutions, semantic data processing, and open-source development.

Projects

zelph

zelph is a semantic network system designed to enhance data quality in large knowledge bases like Wikidata by:

  • Identifying logical contradictions through rule-based inference
  • Making deductions based on existing semantic relationships
  • Processing the entire Wikidata knowledge graph (1.7 TB) efficiently

The system represents both facts and inference rules within the same semantic network, allowing for sophisticated reasoning about properties and relationships. You can explore the results at zelph.org.

Other Open Source Projects

  • Cbeam - A modern, header-only C++ library for concurrency, memory management, and containers
  • Ditana GNU/Linux - A customizable Arch-based Linux distribution

Contribution to Wikimedia Projects

I'm actively looking to contribute to the Wikidata ecosystem through tools that enhance data consistency and enable more sophisticated knowledge representation. My current focus is on integrating zelph's capabilities with Wikidata's existing infrastructure and community practices.

Technical Skills

  • C++ development
  • Semantic networks and knowledge representation
  • Memory-efficient data structures
  • Rule-based inference systems
  • Linux system programming
  • Embedded Systems

Thank you for approving my GitLab Wikimedia account and for the clarification!

@Aklapper @Mohammed_Sadat_WMDE Thanks everyone for clarifying this. Regarding the source code location: While I understand that GitHub Issues serve the same technical purpose as Phabricator and that the WikiProject page is independent, I’m still open to migrating the repository from GitHub to GitLab Wikimedia if that would better integrate zelph with the Wikimedia ecosystem. I believe there could be benefits in terms of project visibility and community perception when tools are hosted within the Wikimedia infrastructure.

Hi @Aklapper ! Yesterday I presented zelph at the Wikimedia Hackathon in Istanbul (T391618) where I received encouraging feedback from several developers. Mohammed Sadat from Developer Outreach recommended creating a project. I'm open to moving issues or the code repository to Wikimedia's infrastructure if that would better support zelph's goal of becoming a key component for Wikidata quality assurance. What would you recommend as the best approach?
