The Tudor Research Centre has organized a seminar on:

Semantic technologies and the semantic Web

On March 21st, 2011 13:30 – 16:00 at :

CRP Henri Tudor, Room Metz

Luxembourg
LUXEMBOURG

Topic of the seminar

As Tim Berners-Lee, founder of the Web, puts it “The Semantic Web will bring structure to the meaningful content of Web pages.” The publication of structured data on the Web enables machines not only to read but also to interpret information. The formalization of models as ontologies improves interoperability. It allows software to reason and to create new knowledge. Moreover, semantic technologies are also responsible for the emergence of new data-driven services, which create value over distributed and heterogeneous data.

Large companies are betting on semantic technologies, such as Oracle, IBM, Google, Yahoo!, or the BBC. Many applications use semantic technologies, such as semantic Wikis (e.g., Semantic MediaWiki)), content management systems (e.g., DRUPAL), or online services such as the Europeana digital library.
