Semantic Technologies: Emerging Issues :: Blog :: First Post - Proposal uploaded

This is the first post for the Emerging Issues study on Semantic Technologies. I'll try to keep this updated regularly as the study progresses. I have uploaded the proposal I submitted to the Emerge project to the files are for this community: feel free to check it out if you are interested in what I'll be trying to achieve.

I've just started to wade through a load of websites, papers, proceedings, books and articles to draw together a quick introduction to semantic technologies for the members of projects that I will visit during the course of the study. This document will be limited in scope: it will only serve to introduce project members to the topic, giving them enough information to contribute to a discussion about whether and how their own project might take advantage of such technologies.

A while ago, I asked for a volunteer to act as Dialogue Mapper during the discussion sessions I run for the study but had no takers. If anyone is interested, please get in touch asap as I will shortly ask whether anyone outside Emerge community is interested in learning and honing this technique.

Finally, if you have any interest in Semantic Technologies, please join this community and contribute appropriate posts.
