Furthermore, using the emerging Semantic Web standards such as RDF and OWL, and technologies for automatic metadata extraction (annotation) and semantic analysis, we have alternative or newer ways to organize, integrate and exploit (search, analyze and perform knowledge discovery) information within enterprise and on the Web. We will provide an overview of current state of the art and share some personal experiences that may answer the following questions * what types of ontologies have been built, how they are built, is there a typical ontology, low large a typical ontology is, what does it take to build and maintain ontologies * how well (semantic) metadata annotation/extraction work * what is the status and adoption of Semantic Web standards and technologies * what kind of advanced capabilities (analytical, decision making and discovery) are made possible using Semantic Web technologies * which domains have been more amenable to applications of ontologies and Semantic Web technologies, and what are few use cases? Most of the discussion will be through the use of real-world examples/applications. Presenter: Dr. Amit Sheth Dr. Sheth is the LexisNexis Ohio Eminent Scholar and director of the Knowledge Enabled Information and Services Center (http://knoesis.wright.edu) at Wright State University. Earlier he founded and directed the LSDIS lab at University of Georgia, and worked at Bellcore, Unisys and Honeywell. His research interests include the Semantic Web, services science, and information integration and analysis. 288 Hear about how ontologies and semantic approaches can be leveraged as another set of tools and approaches to solving the problem or organizing content that does not contain metadata. 2007-08-01 true http://www.earley.com/_July2007.asp http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/288 autocategorization, metadata, ontology, semantic web, taxonomy San Jose USA 2008-05-23 Widely recognized as the World’s Foremost Symposium on the Commercialization of Semantic Technologies, the SemTech Conference is where Semantic Technologies and Web 3.0 come to life in products, in working applications, in case studies, and in conversations with hundreds of developers, entrepreneurs and practitioners who are building a new industry.
