<ivan> Jacek's presentation
Jacek introduces STI2
presentation is also linked from today's agenda page (http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/Meetings/2008-01-23_Conference_Call)
STI2 = Semantic Technology Institute International
a collaborative initiative
Jacek: with direct regard to SWEO, there are
plans to align educational SemWeb activities
... slide 5 in the pdf has some details
... interdisciplinary and international
... for both researchers and practitioners
... exchange programs between participating institutes, summer schools,
internships
... Shared MSc program, starts this year (http://www.semantic-web-academy.eu/)
... STI2 handles related administration
... also planned: an experts db
... training material repository
... EU FP7 Support Action for materials and events
... hoping for collaboration with SWEO
Susie: what sort of events (re collab mentioned in slides)
Jacek: e.g. collab during ESWC, ESTC, ASWC
Susie: another q: what about collateral material (flyers etc)
Jacek: possibly review of STI2-produced
material via SWEO
... in general: any collab would be welcome
Ivan: one (short-term) issue: current SWEO
about to end, STI2 about to start
... overlap should be avoided
<Susie> Input suggestions for SWEO2 at: http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/Next_Steps
<scribe> ... new SWEO still discussed
ivan: ch could offer STI2 the
opportunity to take a step back and think how the collaboration with W3C's
education efforts could *ideally* be
... wonders if Jacek could have a look at the "Next_Steps" wiki page and
maybe add some points
Jacek: good idea, will do
<scribe> ACTION: JacekK to add some STI2-related ideas to http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/Next_Steps [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/23-sweo-minutes.html#action01]
Susie: wrt to next steps:
... would like to have everyone add their notes to the the, also for
debriefing
Susie: please provide feedback
<ivan> Jeff's document
Susie: maybe also inform Ian from the comm
team
... once we've incoprporated our feedback
leobard has loaded the data
tech seems to work
close to be able to announce
Susie: looks like need for editing is
decreaseing
... some questions are coming in
... but those don't necessarily means that document changes are needed
... waiting for TAG comments
... deadline is end of the week
... thinking about extending SWEO for a month
... not only for URI doc, but also for biz presentation
... plus other ongoing tasks
... knowee project as well
... maybe some UI thingy for the info gathering data?
Ivan: no new tasks!
... only ongoing activities
... we'd need a list of already started tasks, and how long each of it would
realistically need to get finished
... concerned of a possible overlap between what danja is creating at the
moment and the stuff that STI2 is producing
... e.g. the REASE repos
Jacek: their efforts are more IRL (i.e. F2F) activities
Ivan: could be other way round, too, that danja's work could be interesting to STI2
heh
<ivan> list of topics for extensions:
<ivan> - use case facets
<ivan> - Danny's work and collaboration with STI2 on that
<ivan> - Cool URI document finalization
<ivan> - Bengee's knowee project
<ivan> - Business presentation finalization
Ivan will contact the mgmt team, but can't make promises
Ivan: two new entries
... follow-ups from the resent sciam article
Ivan: no content updates
Melli: working on facets
... some new values could be added
... maybe highlight the core benefits of each UC
Ivan: Type of Technology Used triggered the initial discussion about improved facets
LeeF: finer granularity may not always be available (e.g. which specific OWL flavour is used)
Susie: Ideally, facet updates should be done before sweo ends
bengee: knowee beta still in the works..
