Schedule

This full day tutorial will consist of two parts:

  • Part I [9am-12pm]: During the morning session the attendees will learn how Semantic Web and Web 2.0 technologies can be applied to digital library systems; they will also get introduced to existing solutions of semantic digital libraries.
  • Part II [1pm-4pm]: During the afternoon session, which will be the hands-on session, the attendees will learn how to install and use JeromeDL, one of existing semantic digital library systems.

We recommend registration for Part I for people who want to get familiar with digital library, Semantic Web and Web 2.0 technologies in general, and to learn how they can be combined together. Part II will allow participants to get familiar with specific applications of semantic digital libraries and gain hands-on experience.

IMPORTANT: Please bring your laptops with you for the hands-on session. If you can, please install Java (version JDK 5 or higher)
