  6. Where to enjoy the Semantic Web Summer?? You shouldn’t miss!!Semantic Web Summer Package:ISWC2002 + OntoWeb3-location: Sardinia, Italy- duration: June 10-14- free gift: OTK dissemination workshop- iswc.semanticweb.org

  7. RDT projects • Ontoknowledge • Ibrow • Ontologging • Obelix • Swap • Esperonto • Htechsight • Wonderweb • SWWS

  8. R&D Semantic Web projects: OnToKnowledge • On-To-Knowledge: Content-driven Knowledge-Management through Evolving Ontologies • Consortium: VUA (co-ordinator), AIFB, BT, SwissLife, CognIT, Aidministrator, Enersearch, OntoText • Budget: 2.5M€ • Key contribution: OIL -> OWL EU flagship project for Semantic Web and Ontology FOR MORE INFO... www.ontoknowledge.org

  17. 2002-2006: Framework 6 Much broader range comparing to FP5 • Integrated projects up to 100 M€. • Ontoweb projects up to 10 M€. • Starting in early 2003. FOR MORE INFO... http://europa.eu.int/ comm/research/

  18. National Fundings Ireland as an example: • Between 2002 and 2006, Ireland will spend around 500 M€ for research on IT and Biotech. • Irland is with 3,6 million inhabitants around 1% of the European Union.

  19. Our next steps • Forming a project cluster of arounf 20 different projects around the semantic web. • OntoWeb II in 2004: 10 M€ • Semantic Web enabled Web services project as a key enabler for Ecommerce in 2002:100 M€
