> Hi,
>
> I'm very pleased to announce that Brian Kelly and I have had a paper
> accepted for the IADIS Web Based Communities 2004 conference [1].
> The paper, which is online at [2], discusses the role of the semantic
> web in general and FOAF in particular in supporting community
> building. The
> general idea was to promote both of those technologies to that
> audience.
>
> The plan is to collect and generate as much metadata as possible
> about people, their interests, and conference attendence. I'll shortly
> be releasing a version of the FOAF-a-Matic Mark 2 which will support
> entry of conference related metadata, and will hopefully be putting
> together a visualisation of the data based on foafnaut.
>
> To support the metadata creation aspect, I've also put together
> the "Conference Metadata Wiki" [3] which is an exercise in distributed
> metadata authoring. By following a basic page template to describe a
> conference, it's speakers and attendees it's possible to
> automatically scrape RDF
> from the Wiki text; click your blue-and-white RDF buttons now!
>
> There's a detailed example at [4], with it's RDF representation
> at [5]. I've
> also begun the process of marking up some additional conferences [6].
>
> I consider the Wiki itself to be stable, I just need to add more
> documentation. The RDF generation is likely to be tweaked over the
> course of the next few days to make better use of RDFiCal. So if
> you've chaired, spoken at, or attended a conference recently, why not
> stop by and add to the metadata? (Don't forget to set your WikiName
> in the UserPreferences page)
>
> Brian and I welcome feedback on the paper, the Wiki, and the metadata;
> and are hoping that scutter authors will start collecting this data, and
> application developers will consider adding support for conference
> metadata to their tools.
