The Semantic Web in practice
September 22 - 24, 2009 via teleconference
11:00 am to 1:00 pm Eastern time (8:00 am to 10:00 am Pacific)
There are many sources of information on the Semantic Web. Most are either future-oriented presentations short on implementation details, technical discussions heavy on jargon aimed at Ph.D.'s in computer science, or events that focus on a specific vendor or product. While these serve a purpose, there's also a need for practical, down-to-earth details on how ontologies and the Semantic Web are being used to save time and money within the enterprise and among business partners.
In this nuts-and-bolts, vendor-neutral series, you will learn how to use the Semantic Web to reduce content management costs, produce better management reports, and enhance search. You'll hear how the staff at O'Reilly Media tell how and why they're using it to reduce publishing costs and lead times, and you'll learn how to take a simple Excel taxonomy and convert it via a relational database into a Semantic Web standard format.
