The ConfIDent project, is currently under development, to provide a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) source of academic event & event series metadata. In its current stage, the project's efforts have been centered on aggregating metadata from scientific events onto a Semantic Mediawiki instance, and developing a semantic web ontology - Academic Event Ontology (AEON) - to support the identification, development, management, evaluation, and impact assessment of academic events and event series into a Linked Open Data platform.
One of the essential features, to the process of metadata aggregation, is the capacity to import and reuse existing ontology schemes via Mediawiki:smw_import pages and Category & Property definitions. Although this is a simple manual process, it is time consuming and can become a tedious and error-prone task, when importing an ontology of more than a few dozen terms. ontology2smw is a Python command line application dedicated to automating that process, which is being used and developed within confIDent. So far it has been proven particularly useful in dealing with an ontology in-development, where terms' definitions are often subject to changes, which need to be incorporated into the Semantic Mediawiki instance.
