SEMANTIC WEB TECHNOLOGIES

As an event at the forefront of Semantic Web research, ESWC 2006 is =20
aiming to leave a significant semantic footprint. This legacy of the =20
event will
include semantic markup generated from existing sources, annotations =20
from delegates at the conference, and the experience of using leading =20
Semantic
Web applications to support a real event.
All participants in the conference can help create this legacy, and  in=20
return gain experience of the entire Semantic Web lifecycle from =20
knowledge capture to use and reuse. From now onwards  there will be=20
opportunities to contribute to the project by providing  additional=20
information and annotations when              registering,  submitting=20
camera-ready papers, and at the conference itself.
