I don’t announce every new addition to the Semantic Web Dog Food Server, but this is a big one: based on the data available from EPrints, we managed to get information about papers and authors for the upcoming WWW2009 in Madrid up as linked data on the dog food server. You can get all the [...]
Last week we organised a second VoCamp – a grass roots, BarCamp-style workshop for creating Semantic Web vocabularies – in Galway. The setup was much like the first one in Oxford: we as the organisers provided the room and coffee breaks, but otherwise only set a very basic schedule (start-coffee-lunch-coffee-wrapup). The real action was provided [...]
So, ISWC2008 is over and I’m back in Galway. What did I learn this year?
There are more and more Semantic Web applications out there, and they are getting slicker and more user-friendly every year. The demo and poster session and the Semantic Web challenges clearly showed that. Some highlights were probably paggr (semantic widgets) by [...]

The site has been the central repository for conference metadata (people, papers, talks, organisations, etc.) from the major Semantic Web conferences (mainly ISWC and ESWC) in the past years, but so far has lacked a unified, cross-conference interface.

It was the first in what will hopefully become a series of small, hands-on, community-driven events where people get together to build and work on vocabularies and ontologies for the Semantic Web. Peter Mika had a nice blog post recently on [...]
(Wow, I havn’t been blogging for months…)
Last week I attended really fun and interesting games research workshop at HUMLab, Umeå University in Sweden. Originally, this workshop started out as a get-together of the Truants World of Warcraft guild, but then quickly turned into an actual workshop, with presenters coming from all over Europe and even [...]
Shift (as well as Kante and Knoten) have been available as source for a while now, but installing from source is not really a lot of fun if you just want to try it out.
So, now I finally got around to putting together an installer package for Shift, that will just install the binaries on [...]
