THESEUS Symposium „Semantic Meets Business“
October 24th, 2011 | Co-located with ISWC 2011 (International Semantic Web Conference), Bonn
This symposium aims at proliferating the understanding of semantics, especially its usage within enterprises. On the one hand, speakers from industry show applications of semantics within various projects relevant within different application areas ranging from environmental information portals to automation and mechanical engineering. On the other hand, technologies developed within the Core technology Cluster of the THESEUS programme and now ready for usage in different applications are presented and demonstrated. These tools cover technologies like semantic search, reasoning, mapping of ontologies, disambiguation of entities and managing changes within knowledge bases. Within a panel discussion aspects like funding, strategies to bring semantics into real-world applications and future research with respect to future applications of semantics are discussed.
Bringing together researchers and representatives from industry is a special focus of this symposium. Its co-location with the ISWC (International Semantic Web Conference) and the invitation of a keynote speaker like Mark Greaves, Vulcan, USA as well as having speakers from industry serves as a basis to foster synergies between research and industry. Keynote speaker Bernard Barani, EU Directorate Converged Networks and Services, presents European research projects and their options in the field of Future Internet.
Registration required. No attendance fee.
