To be held at ISWC 2007, in Busan, Korea, November 11-16, 2007


First Industrial Results of Semantic Technologies (FIRST)


Objectives

The goal of this workshop is to demonstrate the early adoption of semantic technologies by enterprises, and to promote further technology transfer from Semantic Web research to industry. It will bring industry and research together to present and discuss the pros and cons of applying semantic technologies in business processes, not only to identify how industrial requirements can be met, but also important issues of technology maturity, accessability, integratability into existing enterprise IT structures and maintenance throughout the entire ontology and metadata lifecycle.

Call for Papers

We seek concrete reports of technology transfer to industry of Semantic Web technologies. In particular, we invite industry representatives to report on first experiences from the application and use of semantic technology within business processes. The workshop provides an opportunity to inform the research community of industrial requirements and gain feedback from technology developers.

Topics of Interest

We aim for a broad range of topics to be covered in terms of their industrial value and barriers to uptake, including:
