Rules for Event Support by Knowledge Web

Criteria

1. Is the meeting actually part of the mission of KW?
   • does it contribute to integration?
   • is it part of another mission (industry outreach)?
2. Does the meeting add to the popularity of KW by being sponsored?
   • a very visible event
   • a very symbolic/decisive event

Classification of Events

A - KW organized events for outreach

• They should acknowledge sponsorship.
• To be evaluated by EPMB.
• Possible funding.
• Members can go with their funds.

E.g. Summer School, ESWC could be put in that case (like ISWC for OntoWeb).

B - Starting new initiatives from KW on KW topics

• Typically a work package or area that want to launch a new event.
• To be evaluated by EPMB.
• Possible funding.

C - Large, well-known conference in our field

• Can be considered for both reasons [1] and [2] but with the understanding that there are no infinite resources.
• Should be considered case by case.
• The policy is to not fund them.

D - Open workshops at well-known events on KW topics

• The partners can spend some of their resources for attending.
• The organizers can assume that the workshop is sponsored by KW (by the traveling of its members).
• No additional resource but [F].
• Organizers can assume granted if no answer by EPMB.
• No funding.

E - KW meetings

• Same as [D].
• These meetings obviously contribute to integration.
• Organizers can assume granted if no answer by EPMB.
• No funding .

Classification of other possible topics:

F - Travel funding on case by case basis

• Case by case travel funding for KW or KW sponsored events.
• State case by case on funding ved to non-funded-people: this would clearly qualify to both integration and publicity.
• This could possibly be delegated to area managers.

G - Sub-event funding

• The funding of a special action, clearly labelled Knowledge web in an existing event.
• Funding on a case by case basis by the EPMB.

E.g. An invited speaker, the Knowledge web challenge at ISWC 2004...
