Past events

• The Open Ontology Repository

  10-11 Nov 2009 in Toronto, Canada

  The Open Ontology Repository Currently the notion of the Semantic Web as distributed islands of semantics is not a sufficient de facto repository. * If you put it out there, will they come? * If you build it better and put it out there, will they prefer yours? History does not show this laissez faire “field of dreams” is good reality. While HTML was great for humans, machines are the primary consumers of the Semantic Web.

• Human-Machine Collaboration & the Problem of Information Overload

  Mon, 17 Aug 2009, 21:30 - 23:30 in Toronto, Canada

  AbstractAs wonderful as they are, new search and computation engines can only do so much to abate the problem of information overload. To achieve more signal and less noise with respect to information, more needs to be done on the pull side of the push-pull spectrum of information access. One part of the solution lies in giving the user more control to create, expand and acquire personal knowledge with the assistance of machines, namely software agents.
