The Semantic Web Service (SWS) Retreat is an intensive 5 day course, training existing and new researchers and practitioners in the field of Semantic Web Services, so as to encourage their participation in this growing field and to give them access to its top experts. The retreat brought together 20-30 students and 10 tutors, allowing the participants to immerse themselves within the community and to interact on a one-to-one level with established researchers to gain deeper insights and clarity.
The 6th Summer School on Ontological Engineering and the Semantic Web (SSSW 2008) was presented by leading researchers in the field of Semantic Web. It represented an opportunity for postgraduate students to equip themselves with the range of theoretical, practical, and collaboration skills necessary for full engagement with the challenges involved in developing Ontologies and Semantic Web applications.
4th Edition of the BA/PUE Summer School during which the participants had a chance to familiarize themselves with the business processes with the focus on the trust and security related issues in Semantic Business Process Management. The participants attending the classes were students coming from both institutions i.e. BA and PUE. For Polish students participation in the Summer School was connected with a three months apprenticeship in German companies.
The 2nd Asian Semantic Web School has thought its attendees how to apply semantic technologies in their own projects and environments. The school was targeted at PhD students, young researchers and other interested parties affiliated to academia or industry. The school brought together international experts in the field especially from leading research groups in Asia to be part of the program.
The STI International educational service is establishing a training and certification program under the name Semsphere. Semsphere will target IT professionals and those seeking globally recognizable expertise and credentials in the field of semantic technologies. The program is endorsed and developed by the leading experts of the semantic technology community; it will then evaluated and maintained by certified trainers and IT professionals in order to ensure state-of-the-art topics areincluded, and course materials meet high-quality, professional standards. The program will include three fundamental certifications in semantic technologies, extended with specialized curriculums and tailored education courses covering in-depth topics such as tools, languages, techniques, and application domains. We plan to offer on-site education courses, as well as podcasts lectures, interactive webinars, online support materials, and examinations in order to reach a broad,worldwide audience. More info.
REASE is a learning material repository which was set up by the NoE KnowledgeWeb and hosted by the University of Hannover. Over 214 resources are currently available on REASE including materials from the Reasoning Web and KnowledgeWeb summer schools, incl. video. The main target group is researchers and students, but providers could also mark their material as "industrial", to date 92 resources are marked as such. REASE is now hosted by STI International.
