Elevator Pitch: NewsCred has new plans for the news</title>
<description>
Iraj is a big fan of Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web and doing a lot of work in semantic technology now. We both love what Sergey and Larry have done with Google, and would also encourage all startups to read what the guys at 37Signals have to say. Iraj also has to give kudos to his Swedish counterpart, Niklas Zennstrom. Also, Jeff Bezos. We could go on...</description>

Semantic Integration of Multiple Excel Spreadsheets</title>
<description>
The Semantic Discovery System (SDS) - Semantic Web on your DesktopTM - totally removes all the frustrating issues involved in integrating multiple spreadsheets (and Corporate databases -- Oracle etc) -- and further, provides a unique and powerful graphical user interface for easily creating advanced queries and reports across multiple spreadsheets and other disparate data sources. This is achieved through the use of Semantic Web technology with an advanced data integration engine -- running on your Desktop, requiring no technical  expertise, yet providing a unique and powerful user experience.</description>

Sublime &amp;amp; Subliminal:  Semantics for Online Advertising</title>
<description>
Google Tech Talks
August 6, 2008

ABSTRACT

Web advertising, hasn't delivered its potential value to advertisers. This is partcularly true for contextual advertisement. The main problem is that the marriage of ad and the content of a page is based on algorithms that do not offer satisfactory results in understanding the actual meaning of the content of a web page. Try the search "stock base" in Google or Yahoo. You will get many more pages about equities than you do about soup. Yet the ads placed on these pages are too often not related to the main topic of the article. Showing an ad about food when the intended use of "stock base" was in the context of equities it's a mismatch.

Expert System now offers a revolutionary solution that automatically processes the meaning of the text to ensure that the ads selected are relevant. Expert System's CSA (Cogito Semantic Ad) relies on its Semantic Intelligence technology to analyze text on the page through linguistic analysis and Semantic Comprehension to assure that promotional information can be served more effectively. 

[Expert System is looking to partner with Google. Anyone interested in discussing such possibilities should contact host Ellen Spertus (spertus@google.com) to arrange a meeting.]


Speaker: Marco Varone
Founder, CTO, and Director of the Board of Expert System, Marco is the "father" of the technology behind the Company's products and a key driver of the Company with his vision and technical skills. Marco is responsible for the R activities and roadmap in the software and linguistic areas. Marco holds a degree in Computer Science at the University of Modena with honors. 

Speaker: Luca Scagliarini
Luca Scaliarini is VP of Strategy and Business Development for Expert System and responsible for the international expansion and strategic alliances. Prior to joining Expert System, Luca was VP Field Marketing Europe with think3 Inc., and Manager of the Services Product Line at SiteSmith, a managed services provider, where he helped to build the company up to the successful sale to Metromedia Fiber Network. Luca started his career with Hewlett Packard in product marketing roles in Italy and in the US. He holds an Electronic Engineering Degree from Politecnico di Milano and an MBA from Santa Clara University.</description>

Generating and Querying Semantic Metadata and Ontologies</title>
<description>
Google Tech Talks
June 21, 2007

ABSTRACT

Semantic technologies aim at providing machine interpretable descriptions of information and services. Ontologies and related metadata provide the technological backbone for these semantic technologies that gain more and more relevance also in commercial settings, for example for information integration, search and retrieval.

The talk will discuss various recent developments in the area of ontology and metadata management. As a starting point we present Semantic Mediawiki - an extension of the well-established Mediawiki platform that runs Wikipedia - for the large-scale collaborative generation of semantic metadata. We also show how simple semantic...</description>

<description>
InvitationThe organizing committee has the pleasure to invite you to participate in the FORMS/FORMAT 2008 Symposium on Formal Methods for Automation and Safety in Railway and Automotive Systems. After several successful events organized commonly by the Institute for Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering TU Braunschweig and the Department of Control and Transport Automation Budapest University of Technology and Economics the subsequent event of series FORMS/FORMAT symposium will be held in Budapest Hungary on 9 10th of October 2008.Aims and ScopeComplexity in automation  and safety systems as well in railway as in automotive applications are dominated more and more by formal description means methods and tools as well. Formal techniques provide next to the correctness and integrity checkups  especially in safety relevant systems  the possibility to prove the syntactic and semantic specification of the system as well as to simulate the system operation up to its development to implementations.Requirements of the CENELEC  and IEC Standards on formal techniques particularly with regard to the handling of safety analysis are to be treated in FORMS/FORMAT 2008. The main focus lies on topics facing formal techniques for railway applications and intelligent transportation systems as well as for automotive applications. Gained findings experiences and also difficulties associated with the handling of the subject matter are to be shown. Thus the scope of the symposium includes but is not limited toFormal description means and methods  Concepts Applications and Requirements in Traffic and Transportation Safety and Security RAM Simulation etc. UML Petrinets AIS etc.Requirements and Applications in Railway Methods for Risk Analysis Risk Acceptance Risk Measures Signalling Applications Model based Design and Analysis etc.Requirements and Applications in Automotive Control of Driving Dynamics Systems UML in Automotive Systems Model based Development Diagnosis etc.Advanced Driver Assistance SystemsMethods and Tools for Modelling Validation / Verification and Tests Evaluation of RAMS Parameter System related and functional Validation Limits of formal Methods Problems using automated Tests etc.Legal framework Directives Laws Regulations Standards and Norms Certification etc.Human factors and human behaviour Learning Manipulation Awareness FCR modelling etc.Young Researcher AwardThe contributions and the oral presentations are considered to be awarded a Young Researcher Award by the Programme Committee.

Web of Data Practitioners Days 2008</title>
<description>
The Web of Data Practitioners Days is a new application oriented event for Semantic Web practitioners and interested newcomers. It is intended to communicate the results of the past years semantic systems activities to a broader audience especially to practitioners from industry and academia. In a cooperative effort four major Austrian institutions which have actively been conducting research in that area throughout the past years will set the stage for this event.Participants will have the opportunity to see how semantic technologies may improve and enhance existing Web based software systems and how the Web of Data will provide a completely new paradigm of managing globally interlinked information. As a result attendees will get a better idea about the practical benefits of semantic solutions and researchers obtain valuable feedback for further research directions aiming at productivity and applicability of the existing technology for real world use cases.</description>

Semantic technology</title>
<description>
Semantic technology, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search In software, semantic technology encodes meanings separately from data and content files, and separately from application code. This enables machines as well as people to understand, share and reason with them at execution time. With semantic technologies, adding, changing and implementing new relationships or interconnecting programs in a different way can be just as simple as changing the external model that these programs share. With traditional information technology, on the other hand, meanings and relationships must be predefined and â€œhard wiredâ€ into data formats and the application program code at design time. This means that when something changes, previously unexchanged information needs to be exchanged, or two programs need to interoperate in a new way, the humans must get involved. Off-line, the parties must define and communicate between them the knowledge needed to make the change, and then recode the data structures and program logic to accommodate it, and then apply these changes to the database and the application. Then, and only then, can they implement the changes. Semantic technologies are â€œmeaning-centered.â€ They include tools for: autorecognition of topics and concepts, information and meaning extraction, and categorization. Given a question, semantic technologies can directly search topics, concepts, associations that span a vast number of sources. Semantic technologies provide an abstraction layer above existing IT technologies that enables bridging and interconnection of data, content, and processes. Second, from the portal perspective, semantic technologies can be thought of as a new level of depth that provides far more intelligent, capable, relevant, and responsive interaction than with information technologies alone.
