The ad dition of Microformats to a Web site's markup can further the exchange o f semantic information such as contact information for people and events . For the most part\, however\, web sites and applications are still pop ulated by largely non-semantic prose organized in large blocks of HTML o r generated from the walled gardens of relational databases and data war ehouses. \;\n \;\nWhile everyone agrees that HTML isn't going away anytime soon\, several Web Standards have arisen over the last few year s to help application developers store\, serve\, and distribute informat ion with ever-increasing levels of semantics and meaning. The current pi nnacle of the Semantic Web Standards pyramid is OWL - the W3C's Web Onto logy Language. In this talk I will describe the roots and basics of OWL and how it can be used to power the next generation of smart\, data-enab led Web applications. \;\n \;\n---------- \;\n \;\nSpeaker: Brian Panulla \;\n \;\nBrian is a technology consultant and develo per for Dealerpeak - the Portland-based Web-enabled CRM for automotive d ealers. A recent transplant to Portland\, Brian formerly led grant-funde d R&\;D projects in the information sciences at Penn State University . He moved here primarily for the high quality and variety of beer. \ ;\n \;\n---------- \;\n \;\nPJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided)\, followed by th e featured speaker\, then Q&\;A\, discussion\, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :) \;\n \;\nThough we like knowing how many peopl e to expect\, you don't *have* to RSVP\, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ah ead and just show up! \;\n \;\nMany people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting\, at a location determined ad hoc (lately\, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: http://mcmenamin s.com/index.php?loc=24 ). \;\n \;\nhttp://twitter.com/pjug \;\n http://pjug.org/ \;\n(join our mailing list\, linked from the website !)\n\nTags: java\, user group\, pjug\, oracle\, sun\, semantics\, owl\, bpanulla\, brian panulla\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1 250458182 URL:http://pjug.org/ SUMMARY:Portland Java User Group: An Argument for Semantics - Why Develop ers Should Give a Hoot about OWL LOCATION:Oracle (Downtown Campus): 1211 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 800\, Room 8005\, Portland Oregon 97204 US SEQUENCE:7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100901T035519Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100901T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100901T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100901T035519Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100901T035929Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250459184 DESCRIPTION:Monthly Meetup \;\n \;\nInformal meetup.
