Semantic School – after the first month

Semantic School

That was a quick one. I hardly say “Semantic” and we are first month down the road with daily posts at our Semantic School blog.

We have published 21 articles so far. We went from reviewing Semantic Layer Cake to introducing OWL yesterday.

It is to early to tell, but we already heard voices of appreciation. Hopefully, over the next month or so we will gather and teach a large community of people interested in semantic technologies.

Here they are:

Tutorial on Semantic Digital Libraries at ICSD’09

Last week I have travelled to Trento, Italy.

I was invited by the organizers of the International Conference for the Semantic Web and Digital Libraries (ICSD’09) to give a full-day tutorial on Semantic Digital Libraries.

The key goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on solutions that span together these two worlds: Semantic Web and Digital Libraries. Even though these two research lines have so much in common, getting a joint mind set proved to be quite bit of a problem.
