- Open discussion of priorities for FOAF project, standards work,
research and industry
"I want my data back" - perspectives from large scale hosting
services
For example:
- Connecting large scale hosting services
- business models vs user experience vs interop vs standards vs
privacy
- understanding the tradeoffs
- roles and personas; understanding when profiles oughtn't to be
merged
Single sign on, privacy and standardised service interfaces.
This will be a technical discussion, including for example
- scoping - cover auto form filling / profile migration etc
- acknowledging work from Liberty Alliance important
Practical Semantic Web: tools, techniques, priorities for collaboration,
research funders, standardisation
For example:
- identify technical, pragmatic, and deployment issues relating to
'Semantic Web in the real world'
- e.g. aggregation, validation, scalability, RDF application
frameworks
- goal: exchange experiences on practical topics in XML, RDF and Semantic
Web raised by FOAF and social networking applications
Machine Learning, data mining, implicit and explicit metadata,
evidence
Trust - who do you believe (and why?)
including recommendations/ratings/annotations
Applications, ideas and demos
many short presentations spread over the two days
Beyond FOAF core: combining Semantic Web application vocabularies
for example:
- Foaf extensions
- mixing vocabularies
- technical and practical concerns (versioning, stability, etc)
- validation
- community ontology development
- defining application profiles (eg. restricted subsets with required
fields)
- relationship vocabularies
- principles for interoperable extensions?
- a role for formal W3C standardisation? (eg. naming, address
vocabularies)
goal: navigating the tradeoffs between stable/predictable and
rich/extensible, in an environment where no single application or use case
drives the design(s), and in which multiple vocabularies can be used together
but developed separately.
