IFLA Semantic Web Special Interest Group - Request for

support

The IFLA Information Technology section, with support of Cataloguing

section, Classification and Indexing section, and Knowledge Management

section, proposes the creation of a Semantic Web Special Interest Group

(SWSIG) within IFLA.

The SWSIG intends to be a platform where interested professionals could

gather, and undertake whatever tasks are needed to develop, enhance and

facilitate the adoption of semantic Web technologies in the library

community. The rationale for the group can be found at [1].

Please support the creation of the SWSIG by adding your name on the wiki

page at [1] by December, 1st at the latest

Because the wiki is in the majority for german-speaking colleagues, the

default language is german and for anonymous use it's unfortunately not

possible to change the language. So you have to use the "Bearbeiten"-

Button to change the text or to add your signature. Please enter the letters

from the Captcha-image and store (with "Speichern") your changes.

You don't have to be an IFLA member representative to sign. Supporting

the creation of the SWSIG doesn't imply any commitment to participate in

the group's activities.

If approved, the SWSIG will hold its first meeting during IFLA WLIC 2011 in

Puerto Rico. The meeting will be open to any interested person.
