I got lost somewhere after the first occurrence of the word "problems". I'm sure someone from English Heritage should be going to this but I haven't found anyone yet who understand the invitation. Trevor Reynolds Collections Registrar English Heritage, 23 Savile Row, London W1S 2ET -----Original Message----- From: Museums Computer Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David Dawson Sent: 14 March 2006 21:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Semantic Web Workshop Workshop announcement: Semantic Interoperability for e-Research in the Sciences, Arts and Humanities Imperial College Internet Institute Imperial College London 30 March, 2006, 9:30 am - 5:30 pm The CIDOC CRM Special Interest Group and Imperial College London invite you to attend a workshop focusing on the problems of semantic interoperability for e-Research in the Sciences, Arts and Humanities which is intended to examine research challenges and strategies in the areas of knowledge management, information search, retrieval and integration, semantic interoperability and knowledge extraction, with the goal of breaking down the artificial barriers between these disciplines and forging a common research agenda for working across these traditionally separate domains. The central aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of international researchers from the arts, humanities and sciences to clarify the extent to which recent advances in semantic web and e-Science technologies can offer generic solutions to a wide range of application areas, to examine and challenge preconceptions about the creation and implementation of non-domain specific ontologies, to evaluate ontology driven semantic interoperability as a strategy for developing knowledge technologies across multiple heterogeneous collections, and to access new methods of research that naturally follow from the use of these new technologies. Presentations will be offered in the areas of Biodiversity, Environmental Informatics, Geo-Science, Knowledge Organization Systems, Mapping Technologies, Cultural Heritage in Museums, Libraries and Archives, Natural Language Processing and Robotics. The workshop will close with a common discussion. Presentations and a summary of the discussion will be published on the Web. There is no fee for attending this workshop, but pre-registration is required. Please notify Dolores Iorizzo, London e-Science Centre, Imperial College London, if you plan to attend.
