I saw this on refresh, and people were interested in Drupal Calais last night so I am reposting it here
In addition, we will be hosting a session of where Drupal is with Semantic
Web and going with RDFa. For all you developers and designers that work with
CMS, you will defintely be interested to know that Drupal is the major CMS
that has gotten on the Semantic Web boat. Come and discover all the new
features that can be done with the new versions of Drupal. We will also have
a hands-on session of using Drupal and Open Calais to create Linked Data!
This session will take place most probably on the afternoon of Saturday
March 28.
Hi Everybody!
This weekend Semantic Web Austin is organizing two events.
Hopefully most of you have seen Tim Berners-Lee TED talk on the next web of
open linked data (http://blog.ted.com/2009/03/tim_berners_lee_web.php) The
objective of Linked Data, Web of Data and Semantic Web is to not only
publish your documents on the web, but publishing raw data. People are
starting to do this by APIs, but imagine a web of open data where the data
is linked! One of the issues is the need to have a vocabulary that
represents the data you want to publish. In past VoCamps, participants have
created vocabularies to describe Whiskey all the way to Aliens. So if you
are interested in learning more about Linked Data, how this can affect your
business, website, please come! We will be hacking vocabularies on *Saturday
March 28 and Sunday March 29 from 10am to 5pm.
