Reasoning Web 2009 Summer School
Posted in Research on 08/13/2009 02:00 pm by orsi.giorgioThe “Reasoning Web” series of annual Summer Schools was started in 2005 on behalf of the work package “Education and Training (ET)” of the Network of Excellence REWERSE. This year edition will concentrate on the use of semantic technologies to enhance data access on the web. For this reason, courses will present a range of techniques an formalisms which bridge semantic based and data intensive systems.
