Call for papers for the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2005)

Professor Dr Christoph Bussler, Executive Director of the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) has announced the call for papers for the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2005). The conference takes place in Galway, Ireland from 6-10 November this year. ISWC 2005 deals with all aspects of Semantic Web Technology. The deadline for submission of papers is 30 April 2005.

The Semantic Web Services Week 2005

The Digital Enterprise Research Institute (at the Leopold-Franzens University Austria) is organising "The Semantic Web Services Week 2005". This brings together people from industry and research from all around the world in order to provide a platform for mutual exchange of ideas and the possibilities of setting the ground for industrial impact of Semantic Web Services technologies. The W3C Workshop on Frameworks for Semantics in Web Services will take place at the end of the week long programme.

JeromeDL - a Digital Library with Semantics - to provide Semantic Web related content.

DERI together with Gdansk University of Technology has created and deployed its own semantically enhanced digital library JeromeDL. JeromeDL will provide resources like technical papers, presentations, position papers related to the Semantic Web, created by DERI researchers.

JeromeDL itself is Semantic Web enabled - it uses semantically enhanced information processing for resources retrieval. A user can make use of a semantically enabled search engine, exploiting RDF metadata, as well as social collaborative filtering features provided by this digital libraries based on FOAF.

The Semantic Digital Library has been deployed at several other universities already - among them, at the Main Library of the Gdansk University of Technology, Poland.

JeromeDL is available under an Open Source BSD license.

Henry S. Thompson, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics and the W3C Team, has been elected to the the W3C's Technical Architecture Group

2005-03-10:Henry S. Thompson TAG membership will be undertaken with his University hat on. Henry has been involved with XML since slightly before it began, and has played a part in the creation of XSLT and XML Schema, as well as writing freely available XML software such as XED and XSV.

"W3C has created the TAG to document and build consensus around principles of Web architecture and to interpret and clarify these principles when necessary, to resolve issues involving general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to help coordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside and outside W3C." -- TAG charter

Although he is interested in many Web architectural issues, given the leading role the UK has played in developing and articulating the GRID, Henry has a particular concern to be sure that the GRID and the Web converge and cooperate, rather than diverge and compete, and hopes that the TAG can help to make that happen.

Reduced Membership Fees in Developing Countries

2005-02-19: Thanks to discussions with the Advisory Committee, Advisory Board, W3C Offices and prospective Members, a new fee structure for Members in developing countries takes effect 1 April. Reduction of fees is one part of a larger program to increase W3C participation worldwide.
