Semantic Web @ AAAI 2005
I am currently at the AAAI 2005 conference in Pittsburgh. Semantic Web is prominently part of the event:
Deb McGuinness and Mike Dean gave a tutorial on the Semantic Web.
Marty Tenebaum gave an invited talk titled "AI Meets Web 2.0" where he pitched the idea of "Semantic Web 2.0" (although it was more like lowercase "semantic web 2.0"). Interesting (and inspiring) talk advocating, essentially, a large "open source" effort to make the next generation knowledge web happen. In my mind, though, it had too much emphasis in microformats which I do not believe in. CommerceNet labs wiki has more.
Tomorrow, Jim Hendler, this year's recipient of the Robert S. Englemore Memorial Award, will give a presentation titled "Knowledge as Power: A View from the Semantic Web". I am looking forward to it.
Semantic Web was also prominently mentioned in Ron Brachman's presidential address.
