ESWC 2005 - Summary

ESWC 2005 - 2nd European Semantic Web Conference - Heraklion, Greece, 29.05-01.06.2005 - has come to a finish.

Time to pull together what was interesting there and what people have to say about it.

Compared with last year (when I followed ESWC just by the irc chat on the Semantic Web Interest Group channel #swig) there was less immediate feedback online. Looks like only Libby Miller and me were scribing when possible.

Here are the IRC Scratchpad links:
* 29-Jun-2005 - Workshop "Multimedia and the Semantic Web"
* 30-Jun-2005 (see more in irc transcript) - Workshop "Scripting for the Semantic Web"

P.S. The best online feedback I've seen so far was at the 1st Workshop on Friend of a Friend, Social Networking and the (Semantic) Web - there was active scribing on IRC and live IRC chat was fed back to the audience on a second screen in the conference room.

Unfortunately no transcripts from main conference. Maybe there are reports from the conference on participants' blogs, but I have not seen them yet. If know of any, please add them in comments or trackback.
