Minutes education area meeting / WP3.1 meeting / WP3.2 meeting (educational events) Participants: FUBerlin (0/1), UPM (0/1), OU (3/0), L3S(1/0), UniTn(1/0), VU(0/1), FUB(1/0), UCSF (0/1) WP3.2: ====== - summer school: how to continue after Kweb? 1) organizers? continue with current team 2) location? --> Cercedilla very cheap + nice (apart from food :), so continue for now 3) money: - student registration fees (covering half of the budget aprrox.) - 12-15 KEUR from Kweb - 2KEUR from Spanish government - speakers + tutorials: covering their trips from Kweb budget --> do not need to pay the hotel+ registration - UPM expenses (PM for Ana) --> total: ~70 KEUR, for 65 people **AP**: ==> have a plan about this for the review in March! --> EnricoM to lead this Idea: - join all SW projects going on beyond Kweb + let them sponsor the school --> 25 projects(?) 500 EUR each --> 10KEUR - trying to get funding for the presenters travel expenses from other sources todo L3S: ask Alice/Leo how EU projects can sponsor EASE?? (we do pay W3C membership fees, why not paying sth to EASE in the same way?) - PhD network/symposium: Address review comment --> focus on PhD symposium --> clustering topics in PhD to show broadness of topics (aligned to SWTH?) - industrial events: - Lyndon/Alain will organize sth with use cases to create new material - Mustafa: industrial event in Oxford --> not really education, just presentation of tools and applications... - industry day at ESWC: educate researchers about industry... - new resources on REASE - STE plans + organization --> tutorials? - EM: presentation at IBM (todo: EM) --> put on REASE WP3.1 ===== - REASE design: radical simplification (Lora to send more details) -> google: one search box in the middle, some tabs above - all, industrial, events, most popular --> what is a tab, what is a filter? - advanced search button to the right - keep the catalogue at the right - clarify: taxonomy, catalogue, ... - resolution: check for 1024x768, should be no need to scroll --> difficult with the catalogue? - simplify menu (no double occurrences) - perhaps keep the latest news at the bottom? - Sergio: apache redirect to solve the firewall issue - UniTn: result list; mention size + format also --> does not work... - EASE: - umbrella organization - organization for SW teachers / learners - Summer school organization --> todo: start discussion on the mailing list Minutes WP3.2 shared master meeting, 17/01/2007, 9:00 participants: FUB (2/0), VU (2/0), L3S (1/0), UniTn(1/0), UIBK (1/1), OU(3/0), UPM(0/1) - expericences of the experimental year: 1 student Trento - Amsterdam 2006/7 (2 more interested, but no more exchanges based on ERASMUS possible because of the lodging issue; should be fine in next-but-next year (ERASMUS agreement for next year not possible to change for upcoming academic year)) 1 student Trento - Amsterdam 2007/8 - curriculum constraints fine? --> Holger verified all contrains on study plan (Trento, EASE) --> same for the new students --> no double degree for now if double degree: decision of each student on a case-by-case basis in VU --> should be fine for the next students - expected students: - some students to UPM (interest), formal decision later this month - UPM: how many exchange students? --> Asun will check ( - VU: 2 probable candidates to go - Galway, Mannheim: Interested to join the EASE academy - continuation after KnowledgeWeb? all core partners on EASE academy web pages, yes from UIBK also (to be confirmed by Stijn) - side note: 3 more Erasmus mundus applications at Bolzano - leadership on this year's work plan: - VU: to be confirmed - Trento: will take the lead with strong back-up from Bolzano - todo: plan for what to do regarding beuracracy --> create agenda + schedule 1) agreements (double degree, enrollment, fees (central, decentral),... --> reuse Bolzano experiences to start from 2) refined curriculum: current one too weak, not characterizing a SW master --> too general --> Trento, VU, FUB + more partners -> new deliverable: discussion of experiences (5 students then hopefully) --> remove 'experimental' from the JPA - document the cases currently going on already early the year --> AP FvH - document the proposal for EM (plans) - can we guarantee to attract students? Important for EM application to have at least one student from each side (2-3 already optimal; running compLog master has 8 from Bolzano, but none for many other partners, which is suboptimal) --> make plans about this!! - tools: use google spreadsheets + word processor - next meeting: meet-o-matic -> AP FUB todo UPM: within two weeks notify partners about one contact person in UPM also: for VU [Frank?] + Lisbon Minutes of the WP3.3 meeting at 17/01/2007 in Berlin Participants: OU(3/0), L3S (1/0), UniTn (1/0), UPM (0/1) REASE stats to be delivered as a result of the general presentation in 16/01: ============================================================================ -> most popular resources: Title Author Theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Semantic Web Lecture - Logics Nicola Henze Logics, Security / Privacy / Trust in the Semantic Web, Semantic Web Rules + Logics, Rule Markup Semantic Web Tutorial York Sure Ontologies for the Semantic Web, Resource Description Framework (RDF) / RDFSchema, Knowledge Management, eBusiness, Outreach to Industry Ontological Engineering Oscar Corcho et al Ontologies for the Semantic Web Fundamental Research Challenges Generated by the Semantic Web Frank van Harmelen Ontologies for the Semantic Web, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Knowledge Engineering / Ontology Engineering, Semantic Web Applications OWL - Web Ontology Language Monika Lanzenberger Ontology Representation / Ontology Languages / OWL -> topic representation Topic Number Type Industrial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Web Information Technology 20 Top Info/data extraction 7 L1 Web services, personalization, XML ~1 L1 Knowledge / Ontology Engineering 30 Top Mapping, matching, aligning 6 L1 Methodologies 6 L1 Tools 13 L1 Validation, modularization ~1 L1 Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 13 Top Ontologies for the Semantic Web 30 Top OWL 10 L1 Ontology engineering 7 L1 RDF / RDFSchema 12 Top Security / Privacy / Trust 1 Top SemWeb applications 28 Top Knowl. management 9 L1 Bioninformatics 4 L1 eBusiness 5 L1 [not much about use case in KWeb] SemWeb query languages 6 Top SemWeb rules 9 Top Proof on SemWeb 0 Top Special topics 40 Top Sem Web Services 9 L1 Human language techn. 8 L1 Social aspects, p2p, benchmarking ~1 L1 =============================================================== improve deployment of ASPL (usability aspects, plugin vs. proxy, lexicons...) Run automatic updates on ASPL lexicons (at least people, research topics) Making the labels of the plugin more obvious, clearer what is meant by the individual terms (technologies -> semantic technologies, etc.) Remove "Find in ACM" and consider replacing with "FacetedDBLP" "People active in..." -> consider also asking this against "DBLP"? Let's expose all access to services as "web services", so that we have a generic interface/API -> tell Joerg what are the inputs/outputs, format of outputs (XML, RDF) "Related topics" -- one can also use GrowBag from Joerg (different assumptions in clustering items) L3S: creating a FacetedGrowBag PHP interface? -> better to use both services as separates on the top level (corder-based, keyword/DBLP based) -> find some pedagogic rationale for splitting these services -> e.g. GrowBag depends on years => browsing via temporal aspect -> Corder based on web, being more generic -> GrowBag based on structured data repository, aware of temporal relations, differences,... Do we want to create research topic list from DBLP? -> GRowBag can also give back a list of keywords used in publications (e.g. subordinates/subsumed by a give key + related keys) -> add service like "find related themes, keys, etc" => giving back trees rather than flat co-occurences of keys -> also cross-link these services, so that one can access one way of accessing data through another services (DBLP -> Corder; Corder -> DBLP) Include DBLP access for "Generic CS topics" as another service -> via FacetedDBLP -> try it and see if we can overcome the long delays in retrieving stuff about too generic and common terms For community, people probably completely drop CiteSeer as an info source and focus on DBLP -> add faceted DBLP services, so that we offer people a choice in interacting with more or less the same dataset -> single-purpose services vs. multi-purpose ones For review, we need to make sure we can show something new, integrated rather than replicating last year's presentation -> spend a week or more in L3S, before KWeb review -> seems good around 12-16 February, maybe 5-10 February, so that there is time for iteration ==> to be negotiated by beginning of next week -> 20 minutes = REASE presentation at the review (new UI, topics, evaluations, videos, ...) -> 10 minutes = EASE presentation -> 20 minutes = edu events (PhD symposium and SS) ==> reduce this as we presented SS at the last review already in detail -> 10 minutes = shared Master -> 10 minutes = ASPL (demo, update?) Changes for the JPA -> version 2 concluded in the first half of the year -> evaluation to be finished + preliminary results for M46 (intermediate review) -> evaluation report for M48
