As mentioned previously, Stefan and I gave a tutorial entitled “Semantic Web 2.0: Creating Social Semantic Information Spaces” at WWW2006, the largest international annual web-related conference which was held in May 2006. I’ve been so busy since then that I haven’t had a chance to blog about it…

The overall aim of the tutorial was to discuss and present current approaches to realise the ideas of Vannevar Bush and Doug Engelbart on distributed collaboration infrastructures, which we termed “Social Semantic Information Spaces”. Topics included semantic blogging, semantic wikis, SIOC, SWSE prototypes and digital libraries.

The tutorial was booked out, with 35 registrants and attendees from companies such as Google and NTT. You can access the slides here.
