SeSam4 - Semantics for the People

Robert Engels ESIS Norge, Norway

Description

In a world of many cultures and religions it’s not surprising that “semantics” also takes a variety of forms. This presentation is about the Norwegian-based SESAM4 project, the goal of which is to implement, apply, evaluate and make available “semantic” solutions based on W3C specifications (RDF and OWL) and ISO standards (Topic Maps). An important part of the project is to bring together two paradigms that have up until now led independent lives, and evaluate the potential for “semantic interoperability” between the two worlds.
