IKS Early AdoptersWorkshop

IKS Community Workshop June 2010

Early adopters workshop 22-23 June 2010, Salzburg, Austria

This event is part of the validation phase of IKS where we invite up to 40 CMS providers/ vendors to participate as early-adopters. The goal is to bring together the ﬁrst group of CMSvendors who will evaluate the IKS Stack by integrating IKS components of their choice intotheir CMS technology platform.

What is expected of the IKS early adopters?

This year, IKS will go from

requirements speciﬁcation

to design and

prototypes of the interac-tive knowledge stack. There will be an

"Alpha" version (available July - September 2010)which will mainly be validated by the industrial

partners of the

core consortium. (So the pricefor being a core

industrial partner in IKS is that they will be the "guinea pigs" for

our ﬁrst at-tempts at enhancing CMS with semantic features!). Then there will be a "Beta" Version (avail-able April-June 2011) and that version is intended for

our early adopters grant scheme. Thegrants will be in the region of

5000 to 7000 Euro. Here is how the IKS Early Adopter Schemeworks:We ask you to enter an evaluation contract which has three elements:

(a)

one of your technical staff will be attending a dedicated workshop wherethe concepts and workings of the stack will be explained - you

receive atravel and subsistence grant for this. Workshops will be

held at differentlocations in Europe so that it will be easy for

participants to attend one ofthem.

(b)

you will be using speciﬁc IKS components of your choice (depending

onwhere your ﬁrm's technology needs are) and you will integrate them

inyour current CMS technology. You will receive a development grant

forthe integration effort and IKS will link to your site if you can

show the useof an IKS component.

(c)

we will conduct structured interviews or ask for a brief evaluation

reportthat will help us to develop the ﬁnal version of IKS which

will also beopen source and which will also be open for evaluation.

You will receivethe full payment of the early adopters grant once we

havereceived yourreport.The grant scheme is offered to approximately 40 CMS ﬁrms (Open Source-based CMS is nota pre-condition for participation) and each

grant is worth approximately 1 person month of ef-fort as described

under a), b) and c).

We recognize that semantic technology - while offering signiﬁcant

beneﬁts - is still a toughbeast to tame and we recognize that small

ﬁrms cannot normally afford to spend the cost of adeveloper's month

just on "trying it out". Here you have the chance of getting at least

this ini-tial hurdle paid for, getting the technology explained before

you try it, and being able to use itimmediately if it does work for you!
