UW-Milwaukee: Workshop scheduled for Jan. 23

MILWAUKEE─“Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist” is the topic of a
full-day workshop at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Sheldon B.
Lubar School of Business Center for Technology Innovation on Friday,
Jan. 23, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in room N146, Lubar Hall, 3202 N.
Maryland Ave.

The design of the Web defies conventional wisdom about how information is represented and shared. How can we harness the power that created the Web and many of the powerful phenomena that arose from it, such as Wikipedia and social networking, and apply that power to the management of distributed data, especially in an enterprise? This question has given rise to a set of technologies known as the Semantic Web.

The Jan. 23 workshop will include business-level discussions about how to apply this technology to solve persistent enterprise information management problems, as well as technical discussion and demonstration exercises about how the technologies actually work.

Presenter Dean Allemang specializes in innovative applications of knowledge technology. As chief scientist at TopQuadrant, he has more than 15 years of experience in research, deployment and development of knowledge-based systems. He developed the curriculum for TopQuadrant’s successful, worldwide training series for Semantic Web technologies and is co-author of the popular book “Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist.”

The cost for the workshop is $125. To register online, visit www.cti.sba.uwm.edu. For additional information, phone the UWM Lubar School of Business at 414-229-3992.
