The SWANS Committee -----Original Message----- From: owner-swans@mail.daml.org [mailto:owner-swans@mail.daml.org] On Behalf Of Tiger Rhoades Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 9:14 AM To: 'SWANS' Subject: Announcing the Semantic Web Applications for National Security (SWANS) Conference All, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Exploitation Office (IXO) and the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council's Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice (SICoP) are sponsoring a Semantic Web Applications for National Security (SWANS) Conference to be held April 7-8, 2005 in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The purpose of the meeting is to raise awareness and enhance the ability of Military and Government technology decision-makers to capitalize on the emergence of the Semantic Web. One of the key objectives of this meeting is to foster additional pilot and implementation projects using OWL and RDF technologies. The first day's agenda includes a description of the current status of Semantic Web technology progress by DARPA, W3C, and key Government technology leadership. We will have a powerful group of technical and operationally oriented speakers and tutorial leaders. We have an impressive set of keynote speakers: Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web and Director of the World-Wide-Web Consortium; Mr. John Gilligan, USAF Chief Information Officer; Mr. Steve Cooper, Department of Homeland Security Chief Information Officer; and Mr. Gary Winkler, Principal Director, Enterprise Integration, US Army CIO. Additionally, there will be a wide range of demonstrations by researchers and key Government and academic early adopters to illustrate the power of using Semantic Web technologies in pilot programs to address National Security needs. A substantial portion of the first day will be devoted to what the National Security community user might find useful to start a pilot project. The second day will have two major activities: (1) a set of tutorials for those wanting to gain more detailed information on Semantic Web technologies; and (2) a Trade Show to allow vendors who are employing Semantic Web technologies to demonstrate their capabilities to this select audience. Also during the Trade Show, Semantic Web experts will be conducting pilot program advice sessions to discuss technical and programmatic aspects of developing pilot projects utilizing RDF and OWL technologies.
