The day started nicely with the “Towards a Social Web?!” talk by Stephan Baumann—which discussed from FOAF, user models vs. contexts, tagging to social networks analysis and visualisation, and related work at CHI2007.
Then we got in Twin Peaks mode, where Sean Bechhofer told us — well, with different words — what The Giant told Agent Cooper: “The OWLs are not what they seem!”
Further, Aldo Gangemi discussed about conceptualisation and modelling aspects in ontology design, and presented some ontology patterns from NeOnDeliverable D5.1.1 — NeOn Modelling Components.
In the afternoon we had a hands-on Twin Peaks session and some modelling/ontology patterns exercises; then the first poster session, where I almost lost my voice explaining for two hours my poster about semantic browsing with PowerMagpie.
