Knoodl is sort of an ontology editor, registry/repository, and wiki all rolled into an easy to use online application. There's never been anything quite like it.
* Upload an ontology you already have, or build one from scratch.
* Add rich documentation with wikitext, so that other people can understand what your ontology is about.
* Work with other people on the same vocabulary, at the same time
* Find and download other ontologies and use them in semantic applications.
Pre- and Post-Conference Virtual Sessions
for the 2008 IIIS' Conferences
The Organizing Committees of 2008 IIIS' conferences decided to implement pre- and post-Conference virtual sessions for the 2008 IIIS' Conferences. This decision was based on the experiment, related to this kind of virtual sessions, done in the 2006 IIIS' conferences; on some of the suggestions that 2006 conversational sessions generated, and on the survey made among the participants of these conferences. Each pre- and post-conference virtual session will be associated, in one-to-one relationship, to each face-to-face session of the conference.
The Open Knowledge Definition (OKD) sets out principles to define the 'open' in open knowledge. The term knowledge is used broadly and it includes all forms of data, content such as music, films or books as well any other type of information.
In the simplest form the definition can be summed up in the statement that "A piece of knowledge is open if you are free to use, reuse, and redistribute it".
* How can a computer accumulate a massive body of knowledge?
* What will Web search engines look like in ten years?
To address these questions, the KnowItAll project has been developing a variety of domain-independent systems that extract information from the Web in an autonomous, scalable manner.
The KnowItAll project has been sponsored in part by federal research grants from the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research.
