Yhteisöllinen semanttinen web 2.0 perjantaina 15.1.2010!
January 14th, 2010Kansallinen Suomalaiset semanttisen webin ontologiat -hanke FinnONTO käynnistyi v. 2003.

FinnONTO 2.0:n kunnianhimoisena tavoitteena on kansallisen yhteisöllisen semanttisen webin infrastruktuurin. Seminaarissa esitellään FinnONTO 2.0 -hankkeen keskeisiä tuloksia tutkimuskaudelta 2008-2009 sekä tutkimuksen jatkoa 2010-2011, jossa kehitysalueena ovat mm. semanttisen webin jokapaikan mobiilisovellukset.
Tilaisuus on avoin ja maksuton. Ilmoittaudu nyt!
