PRISM
: An RDF-Based Metadata Standard for Publishers
Speaker: Linda
Burman, VP, Standards & Evangelism, Kinecta Corporation
& Ron
Daniel Jr., Standards Architect, Interwoven, Inc.
Description: PRISM, Publishers Requirements for Industry
Standard Metadata, is an RDF metadata vocabulary, developed
in response to a critical need in the publishing marketplace
for a standard to enable the automated repurposing, aggregating,
syndicating, personalizing and post-processing magazine, catalog,
book, news and mainstream journal content. Learn about RDF,
metadata, and the PRISM metadata vocabulary in this presentation
by the co-chairs of these standards.

Practical
RDF Tools Towards a Semantic Web
Speaker: Dave
Beckett, Technical Researcher, Institute for Learning and
Research Technology, University of Bristol
Description: There are now many RDF tools that are developed
and deployed on the web. This presentation will introduce them,
their applications, and describe how they are involved in the
steps towards a future Semantic Web.

Implementing
a Semantic Web Site
Speaker: Eric
van der Vlist, CEO,
Dyomedea
Description: Some
of the semantic web and knowledge technologies can easily be
used with today's technology to facilitate the navigation on
medium sized web sites. This presentation will show how one
can build on keywords available in most of the XML formats to
derive RDF Site Summaries, Topic Maps and pages classifications
that are very helpful for navigating on medium or complex web
sites. This will also prove to possibly increase the average
number of pages per visitor.

Practical RDF Inference: A Case Study of OpenTechnology.org
Speaker: Uche
Ogbuji, Principal
Consultant, Fourthought, Inc.
Description: This
presentation is a case study of OpenTechnology.org's use of
RDF and inference on RDF data to help automate content and other
data management. It will present Fourthought's practical success
in using RDF for low-cost knowledge management in a closed,
controlled system.

K-Discovery:
Identification of Distributed Knowledge Structures in a Process
Oriented Groupware Environment
Speaker: Stefan
Smolnik, Research Assistant, University of Paderborn
Description: Scenarios in groupware environments show
the problems of accessing knowledge structures in common and
organizational knowledge structures in particular. Based on
this an architectural model will be introduced during this
session, in which knowledge structures are created by generating
Topic Maps in a process oriented groupware environment.

Using
XML Metadata with PDF to Enable Asset Management
Speaker: Chuck
Myers, Senior Manager of Business Development, Adobe Systems,
Incorporated
Description: One of the keys to enabling corporate knowledge
asset management is the use of metadata to identify and organize
the assets. This presentation will explain how XML metadata
can be used with PDF documents to enable management of these
assets.

Applying
Topic Maps to the Classification of Health Interventions
Speaker: Derek
Millar, Director, Professional Services, NewBook Production
Inc.
Description: This presentation will describe how a health
information application in Canada, the classification of health-related
interventions, can benefit from the application of Topic Maps,
an international standard for codifiying subjects and the relationships
between them. How the semantics of the classification can be
captured in a topic map, the impact of having a topic map on
the process of publishing conventional paper and CD-ROM reference
products, and the implications for collaboration and sharing
of information with international health classification initiatives
will be discussed.

Topic
Maps, NewsML, and XML: Possible Integration and Implementations
Speaker: Soelwin
Oo, Student Developer, empolis UK
Description: This presentation will highlight real world
scope of topic maps based technologies. It will focus on the
newly published IPTC XML based NewsML standard and discuss how
these two standards can be used together to provide a powerful
collective knowledge base.

Compendium:
Making Meetings into Knowledge Events
Speaker: Albert M. Selvin, Senior Member of Technical
Staff, Verizon Communications and
Dr.
Jeff Conklin, CogNexus
Description: This presentation will discuss
how much of an organization's knowledge is constructed
and negotiated in face-to-face meetings, but is often
lost or forgotten. Compendium harvests formal and
informal knowledge in real time, increasing shared
understanding among meeting participants, creating
a coherent organizational memory of learnings and
decisions, and integrating the knowledge creation
process across time and across diverse communities.

Knowledge
Holographs that Leverage How We Learn for Maximum
Knowledge Management Productivity
Speaker:
Bain
McKay, Chief Scientist and Executive Vice President,
CIRI Lab Inc.
Description: TOPIC MAPS address a new and powerful
way to represent knowledge context in and across documents.
But they represent only the first stage of Knowledge
Management productivity. To be truly productive, we
must address the entire Knowledge Management Life
Cycle, including learning productivity where we waste
80% of our time organizing information for personal
learning. We can automate this process by leveraging
how we learn through new indexing methods like Knowledge
Holographs that index fractal semantic analogues in
real-time across 100s and 1000s of dimensions with
mass scalability. Such methods depart significantly
from standard scientific methods that focus deeply
on individual disciplines by concomitantly leveraging
both the broad and deep disciplines of Cognitive Science,
in which information science plays a much less prominent
role, and where the power of knowledge management
shifts from information scientist, to domain expert.

Harvesting
XML Topic Maps
Speaker: Nikita
Ogievetsky, President, CogiTech Inc.
Description: Session discussions will focus
on principals and techniques for harvesting XML
Topic Maps. The presentation will be based on the
experience with using XSLT scripts for XTM extraction
from various types of metadata.

The
Automatic Encoding of Lexical Knowledge in RDF Topicmaps
Speaker: Carol
Jean Godby, Senior Research Scientist, OCLC
Online Computer Library Center
Description: This presentation describes
strategies for automatically extracting terminology
and lexical relationships from collections of similar
Web documents. The results are represented as an
RDF graph that can be loaded into the Open Extensible
RDF Toolkit to produce a searchable and browsable
topicmap.

Extracting
Knowledge from XML Documents Using Topic Maps
Speaker: Eric
Freese, Director of Consulting Services-Midwest Region, ISOGEN
International/DataChannel, Inc.
Description: Topic Maps provide a powerful new capability
to manage and interchange knowledge without modifying the source.
This presentation will discuss how knowledge stored within documents
can be captured and used to build a knowledge base. A demonstration
system will show how the knowledge base can be used in the management
and presentation of the knowledge base.

Just-in-Time Knowledge Flow for Distributed Organizations Using
Agents Technology Speaker: Ramon
F. Brena, Professor, Center for Artificial Intelligence, ITESM,
Mexico
Description: This session
will discuss a generic agent-based tool for disseminating relevant
pieces of information and knowledge in distributed or large organizations
at the right moment; we call this "Just-in-time'' Information
and Knowledge (JITIK). A substantially better internal and external
communication level in a given organization could translate in
a more efficient value production and the capacity of quickly
reacting to market forces.

Knowledge
Aggregation Using XML (This
session was cancelled but slides have still been made available.)
Speaker: Bryan
Caporlette, Executive VP of Strategic Technology, Sequoia
Software
Description: As more organizations move to integrate, or
aggregate, information from disparate applications into knowledge
bases they face many challenges in extracting the data locked
within proprietary environments. This presentation will define
a framework for using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) to
facilitate knowledge aggregation.

Managing Complex Environments with Topic
Maps
Speaker: Bernard
Vatant, Knowledge Representation Consultant, Mondeca
Description: This session will describe a methodological
approach for building Topic Maps in complex fields of knowledge,
based on the definition of "Objective" and "Conceptual" levels
of Topics. Also described is how this tool is developed as a tutorial
frame for Mondeca's Topic Navigator users.
