Much has been written about the Semantic Web and the new functionality it promises in bringing data resources to the Web. Articles in scholarly literature have discussed the promise of complex knowledge structures brought to the Web, and articles in newspapers have discussed how it promises to be a Web 3.0 of entrepeneurial riches. However, these many write-ups have missed one of the most important aspects of the Semantic Web -- it's a rich new playground for open-source Web tools and applications reminiscent, in many ways, of the early days of the World Wide Web.
If you don't have a laptop running Mac OS X or Linux or a space on a website to publish files, please contaact timbl@w3.org before the first class.
In this one week "boot camp" will have morning lectures and optional, but recommended, afternoon practicums aimed at providing a hands-on experience of this new technology. In this learn-by-doing week, students will get a feel for Semantic Web "hacking" at its best.
