Variants of Semantic Web Languages in the Real World

The Semantic Web is a broad vision of the future of personal computing, emphasizing the use of sophisticated knowledge representation as the basis for end-user applications' data modeling and management needs. Key to the pervasive adoption of Semantic Web technologies is a good set of fundamental "building blocks" - the most important of these are representation languages themselves.

2009 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration
08/10/2009 - 00:00
08/12/2009 - 00:00
International conference to explore information reuse and integration needs, technologies and experiences

Massive amounts of data are routinely collected by a variety of projects. Some of this data is used immediately, while other resources are published, and stored for later use. By describing data and data resources, metadata enables appropriate use of data, effective re-use and continuing integration of data sets.

The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration explores the techniques, tools and experiences of information technologists, researchers, and developers, as they strive to enable and practice data reuse and integration.
