INBAST 2012 - 2nd Workshop on Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Web Technologies (INBAST 2012)

2nd Workshop on
Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Web Technologies (INBAST 2012)
In conjunction with the
OnTheMove Federated Conferences and Workshops OTM 2012
10.-14.9.2012, Rome, Italy
The Semantic Web was planned as a web of data that enables machines to understand the meaning of information on the WWW. Many of the Semantic Web technologies proposed by the W3C already exist and are used in various contexts where sharing data is a common necessity, such as scientific research or data exchange among businesses. However, the Semantic Web as originally envisioned, a system that enables machines to understand and respond to complex human requests based on their meaning, has remained largely unrealized and its critics have questioned its feasibility. Semantic Web technologies have found a greater degree of practical adoption among specialized communities and organizations for intra-company projects. The practical constraints toward adoption have appeared less challenging where domain and scope is more limited than that of the general public and the WWW.
The goal of the workshop is the feasibility investigation of advanced Semantic Web methods and techniques and their application in different domains such as in the run time of safety-critical live systems or in design time engineering disciplines like software and systems engineering.
