Matthias introduces himself

matthiassamwald: participant of the Health and Life science IG
... recently moved to DERI Galway to work on SemWeb tech for Health and LifeSci
... and also working for a company in Vienna (SemWeb Company)

<matthiassamwald> http://www.semantic-web.at/

<leobard> hi matthias, we met at ISemantics, you were also at my birthday party in metalab.at i think

update on information gathering task

leobard: the service works nicely, will upload data tomorrow and announce it

Susie: can write a blog entry about that, too

Cool URI document

... have you had a chance to look at the feedback on our draft?

leobard: didn't see many emails, only two

Susie: will mention this on the CG call
... with the current deadline, people will have around a week

leobard: there are a few editorial things that are open, then at the end of January we should hopefully be done

FAQ update

Susie: we wanted input for the doc from GRDDL folks
... pinged Harry again

ivan: regarding use cases and case studies, there's email activity, I'm checking a few sources
... e.g. at Clark&Parsia, at IBM
... so we are basically waiting now

Susie: how about the BBC use case & case study?

ivan: Uldis was talking to them, but zero replies in the last month
... we need to ask Uldis if he has any contact

Susie: I will ping Uldis

leobard: asked Ontoprise about a case study a long time ago, but nothing much happened; but wonder if the Semantic Web Company could provide a case study

matthiassamwald: certainly, I'll look into that

Susie: make sure to look at our existing web site

matthiassamwald: I believe I've already seen it, yes

Susie: we have actions for a review

ivan: I'll ping the guilty about it

Wrapping up the Brochure

ivan: 99.9% done
... the fliers are at MIT right now, can be used at conferences if you contact MIT to send you some
... also have the CD with PDF files etc.
... one small problem with one of the files, but essentially done

Susie: thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing the fliers at upcoming meetings

Business Presentation

Susie: Jeff is interested in being involved in this
... he wants to write a doc on where he sees the value of the SemWeb
... then he'll create the slides from the doc, deadline next week for a draft of the presentation
... the document becomes quite mature, we might want to publish it
... others also expressed interest in helping, to happen after the first draft

kidehen: we might drop it also in the ESW wiki

Susie: now it should be possible, I'll suggest that

Update on the Community Projects

kidehen: we're getting closer to DBPedia 3.0
... the difference from 2.0 is the quality of relationships, user navigation

ivan: we'll have a meeting with XBRL people later today

kidehen: who are these people exactly? if anything happens, I'd be interested in it
... I'm frustrated in spending time on this and than finding myself on the outside when things happen

Susie: hopefully Ivan could give us update soon
... moving on to other projects; I watched the video from bengee ('s group) and it was cool

bengee: getting support from Dan Brickley and an open social network project which will last past current SWEO
... almost there with a plugin for WordPress
... will be presented on a conference soon

Susie: will any code be available by end of January? Would be nice to add a blog entry on this

Enterprise Survey

Susie: I'm being persistent in pinging Karen

ivan: karen says she needs to do a small tweak and then send it later this week to the group

Susie: by end of this week would be good, later we likely couldn't do it

SWEO Next Steps

<Susie> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/Next_Steps

Susie: I created the wiki page on what we've done well, not so well, what should be continued and what not

<leobard> are you talking about "semantic wave"?

Susie: it would be good to see everybody's input in the wiki

JacekK: I'll present what STI Intl plans to do in education and outreach

Susie: I'll add you on the agenda

ivan: STI Intl should also be involved in rechartering of SWEO

JacekK: we'll gladly participate in that heavily

<PaulaP> bye

<matthiassamwald> bye

Susie: meeting adjourned
