Triple-I 2008
The first week of September is the almost traditional week for the Triple-I conference (I-Know, I-Media, I-Semantics). We went there with quite a large team and with a booth for the company exhibition that was taking place in parallel to the scientific and industrial presentations. KiWi was (as one of our “featured projects”) well represented as you can see on the photo:
Besides our booth, which attracted quite a few interested attendents, there were several very interesting talks. I particularly enjoyed the presentations of Ronald Maier on Collaborative Tagging and of Ursula Schneider on IPR issues in the Web 2.0. Both talks were very enspiring and well presented. Of course, the highlight of the conference for me was the keynote by Tom Heath of Talis in the UK, whom I had the honour to introduce on the last day of the conference.
Some other nice things on the conference: a good mixture of social sciences and computer sciences, of practitioners and researchers, of industry and academia. And not to forget: nice meals and free beer during all of the conference (we had a nice incident with an unoccupied beer tap when building up our booth on Tuesday evening 
).
