I'm driving to Los Angeles to visit
Weiwei
Yesterday I rented a car from
Hertz. Isn't it nice when they give you a free upgrade?
Got a Toyota Camry, same color as the one that
Kunal has.
Yesterday, also, I watch the DVD of the movie
Kolya
Thursday at WWW-2004
- The talks by Udi Manber, Rick Rashid provide insight for future possible developments as well as innovation
- Eric Miller Presentation of
Semantic Web, Phase 2: Developments and Deployment
- Charles Myers (Adobe) mentioned someone has to put the metadata (should be easy), tons of XMP data out there already!
- Frank Careccia (
BrandSoft), content management with real use of semantic technologies
- Dennis Quan (IBM Watson) talked about BioHaystack and gave examples of its usage with myGrid
- Jeff Pollock (Network Inference) explained an example of real-world usage of OWL
- Dave Reynolds (HP Labs) talked about Jena
Attended WWW 2004 Conference.
Arrived little bit late (due to issues of NY transportation).
Few Talks in the
WWW2004 Workshop Application Design, Development and Implementation Issues in the Semantic Web
Developing and Managing Components in an Ontology-base Application Server, presented by Daniel Oberle. Summary: an approach for extending the use of XML configuration files thus supporting the development and administration of software components in an application server.
Towards Semantic Web Portals, presented by Michael Stollberg. Describes a framework for Semantic Web portals.
Lifecycle of a Casual Web Ontology Development Process, presented by Aditya Kalyanpur. Rapid and easy creation of ontology with an easier GUI than Protege, etc.
Towards Semantic Web Engineering:WEESA - Mapping XML Schema to Ontologies, by Gerald Reif. An approach for creating RDF from XML (Schema).
Interesting remarks at the (closing) panel "Are semantic web applications really viable?"
- how useful is a language (OWL-DL) that only five people in the world can exploit?
- the web is about exchanging information
- using many URIs for the same resource is very likely, using same URI for different resources is unlikely
- research in Web engineering can definitely be incorporated into Semantic Web research
Also attended part of the tutorial on "Text Mining and Link Analysis for Web Data"
Hi everybody!
I'm
Boanerges Aleman-Meza.
As of May 2004, I'm a third year doctoral student in the
LSDIS Lab, Computer Science Department, University of Georgia.
Given that my birthday is comming, I decided to create this glob, that way, I will remember how long I've had it.
This summer, I'll be intern in the
WebFountain project. I'm looking forward to start!
