an interesting thing happening in Austria is the Semantic Web School. The aim of this school is to preach the gospel of the semantic web to the masses, especially industry, government and end users.

www.semantic-web.at

The website has information about the school (in german) and the offered curriculum. They offer a set of one day workshops about several topics. The events are spread over several months (see navbar on left) and can be booked seperately. Cost is ok, compared to the quality of the speakers it is surely worth it (and regarding the good connections you get to the other industry & govn attendees :-) At the moment, courses are ongoing.

A very nice thing about the website is the good collection of information about the semantic web at large, they collect much info. They also asked their speakers to contribute there, so expect a quite well kept library of semantic web stuff.

Look at the right side of the nav bars to find the good links.


and yes, I am also giving a workshop there, about the dirty and good RDF tools: redland, jena, sesame, protege, gnowsis. I am looking forward to this, its on 25th may, you can still book to watch me.
