SeCo and the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society are organizing a Semantic Web minisymposium on Thursday 26th October 2006 as a part of the SCAI/STeP 2006 conference.

The minisymposium focuses on the practical aspects of making the vision of the Semantic Web through in practice.

The keynote speaker is Ora Lassila, Nokia Research Center Cambridge.

Welcome!

The French-Finnish symposium Digital Semantic Content across Cultures focuses on the questions of representing cultural content and on publishing it especially on the (Semantic) Web. The objective of the seminar is to discuss the digitalization, archiving, and retrieval of our cultural heritage in all its forms, to deal with the development of methods of compilation and indexation, and to present, in the form of illustrative examples, cultural and recreational services available to citizens (and consumers) including access to contents in different languages from foreign cultures.

The symposium is intended for researchers, practioners, and students on culture domains, museums, archives, libraries, and information and communication technologies (ICT). In particular, research, applications, and directions for future co-operation between French and Finnish cultural organizations, research groups, and companies in the field of cultural content and ICT will be discussed.
