Semanticcampparis: presentation of participants and planning the program

Semanticcampparis @ La Cantine.

In the end around 20 people showed up (participant list here). Charles Nepote did a quick introduction and after, participants introduced themselves and explained their interest in the semantic web. (I explained that I'm especially interested in the possibilities for web apps, the use rather than the technological base and what the implications are for the future of the internet).

This camp shall help to start coordinating the efforts for the french speaking community of people interested in the semantic web.

The areas of interest that emerged:

1. Animation (coordination of efforts within France and french speaking regions of the world)
2. Translation & Ontology (how to organise and coordinate the translation efforts)
3. Classification and structure by themes/topics/subject
4. Atelier decouverte (getting to know the models behind the semantic web)
5. Websem Zen Garden, Showroom (similar to the idea of an css zen garden: helping to make the topic more understandable by using concrete examples)
6. Knowledge databases
7. Semantic wiki
8. DOAP equivalent for research projects
9. Distributed social networks
