2004/07/19: THE SECOND EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL ON ONTOLOGICAL ENGINEERING AND THE SEMANTIC WEB (SSSW-2004)
DEADLINE FOR PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION: 19 April, 2004. The KnowledgeWeb European Network of Excellence (http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org/) is pleased to announce the second European Summer School on Ontological Engineering and the Semantic Web. This summer school, presented by leading researchers in the field, is the successor to the highly successful school held in 2003 as part of the activities of the OntoWeb Network Consortium (http://www.ontoweb.org). The school represents an opportunity for postgraduate students to equip themselves with the range of theoretical and practical skills necessary for full engagement with the challenges involved in developing Ontologies and Semantic Web applications. Students interested in taking part will have to register online on the SSSW-04 web site by April 19th. Attendance at the school will be limited to 50 participants, therefore registration does not guarantee a place at the school if the school is over-subscribed. To register please fill the online form at our web site, http://babage.dia.fi.upm.es/summerschool/. Cercedilla, near Madrid, Spain

2004/05/10: ESWS 2004 1st European Semantic Web Symposium
In the European context, the 6th framework programme has demonstrated the EU’s commitment to this technology area and a number of exciting new projects in the Semantic Web area have been launched, aggregated in the SDK project cluster - see http://www.sdk-cluster.org/ for further details. A tutorial programme, based around these projects, offers the opportunity to get up to speed with European and global developments in this exciting new area. All 6th framework projects, as well as other leading projects, in the Semantic Web area will be represented with posters. The conference will be co-located with the OntoWeb thematic network seminar and the Knowledge Web network of excellence meeting – see http://www.ontoweb.org/ and http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org/ for further details of OntoWeb and Knowledge Web events, respectively.

2003/12/02: KTWeb Workshop
KTweb Workshop: Knowledge and content technology research - the past and the future 2 - 3 December 2003, European Commission, Luxembourg HIGHLIGHTS: Keynote addresses by leading industry players, from NOKIA and VERIZON; details of the plans for future research opportunities in the Sixth Framework Programme; plus project presentations and case studies; together with parallel demonstrations and poster session. This KTweb* Workshop is organised in conjunction with unit E2, Knowledge Management and Content Creation, at the European Commission in Luxembourg on December 2nd and 3rd 2003. Attendance is free of charge. The first day presents a retrospective view on knowledge and content technology research undertaken under the Commission's Fifth Framework Programme (FP5), showcasing selected projects from Unit E2, together with case studies from FP5 and from other research programmes where there has been a successful commercial take-up of the research results. The second day will look ahead to future research, with a preview of some of the new Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) projects together with information on the 2004-2005 Work Programme. There will be speakers from the European Commission, the research community, and from industry. There will be ample time for informal discussion and 'networking', as well as parallel project demonstrations and poster sessions. The programme, online registration facilities and travel and accommodation details are available on the KTweb portal at http://www.ktweb.org/wsDec03.cfm *KTweb is the key initiative of the MULTIPLE project, an Accompanying Measure to the European Commission's Information Society Technologies (IST) programme, aiming to provide a broad-based community-building and awareness-raising service for digital content, media and knowledge technologies. KTweb brings together the European projects and people working in these technologies - in research, academia and business - and offers information and resources at a global level. Luxembourg

2003/10/19: Practical and Scalable Semantic Systems
The Semantic Web is widely accepted as a means to enhance the Web with machine processable content. For making the Semantic Web work in practice it is paramount to be able to use the existing infrastructure, and to enable an evolutionary transition from today’s infrastructure towards a connected web using Semantic Web technologies. Making Semantic Web technology practical has two facets: Making existing technologies work: often useful tricks of the trade are required to make existing systems work with Semantic Web technology. Examples include various mappings of semi-structured data on relational databases or the realization of ontology languages for relational, object-relational, and object-oriented databases. Only these “tricks of the trade” enable to spread Semantic Web technology. Identifying different research assumptions: the existing research in databases is often based on slightly different assumptions than required by Semantic Web technologies. Existing research on semi-structured data storage and retrieval does not take into account that stored data might have heterogeneous semantics, e.g., based on different ontology languages. Based on the identification of different assumptions, new research tasks, based on existing database research, can be identified. Both aspects are critical for the success of the Semantic Web – the first aspect provides necessary solutions for how to make the Semantic Web practical right now, whereas the second aspect indicate the long term research by identifying the different assumptions behind past database research and current Semantic Web needs, and how to bridge the gap between both fields. The workshop provides a forum for both aspects, which did not exist yet. Sanibal Island, Florida, USA

The Web presents a key driving force for a large spectrum of applications in which a user interacts with a company, a governmental authority, a non-governmental organization, or another non-profit institution. The application providers should combine knowledge about user expectations and Web semantics, in order to form personalised, user-friendly, and business-optimal services. Enabling methodologies include data mining, text mining, and ontology learning. Recipient technologies include user profiling, usage analysis, ontology extraction for the Semantic Web, intelligent search and recommendation systems based on user preferences, page content, and site semantics.
