Vabim vas na 125. Solomonov seminar, ki bo v torek, 
17.junija 2003 ob 13. uri v Veliki predavalnici IJS.
Posnetki in materiali preteklih seminarjev so dostopni

Na tokratnem seminarju nam bosta gosta in Karlsruhea
predstavila podrocje, ki dozivlja v zadnjih letih precejsen 
vzpon: "Semantic Web", ki naj bi predstavljal osnovo za 
naslednjo generacijo informacij na spletu, ki bi nosile
precej vec semantike in meta informacij kot dosedanji
splet - to naj omogocalo nove, precej inteligentnejse 
spletne servise.

        A short Tutorial on Semantic Web

The availability of electronically stored information increased
drastically through the development of the World Wide Web.
Currently the WWW contains more than a billion documents, but support for 
accessing and precessing information is limited. Most information is only 
presentable but not understandable by computers. Tim Berners-Lee 
envisioned the Semantic Web that aims at providing automated access to 
information due to machine-processable semantics of data. Ontologies 
formalize a shared understanding of a domain and therefore play a crucial role 
for communication among human beings and software agents.
 
We will present the underlying ideas of the Semantic Web and will shortly 
introduce ontologies as the backbone of the Semantic Web. Further we will 
show how much effort is necessary to setup the Semantic Web and how tools 
can support this process. Additionally Web and Data Mining techniques can 
be used to bootstrap the Semantic Web. The idea of Semantic Web Mining is 
to improve the results of Web Mining by exploiting the new semantic structures 
in the web.
