IKS Requirements Workshop: Semantic Web
Interactive Knowledge Stack for small to medium CMS/KMS providers
The EU project IKS invited me to participate at the first Requirements Workshop held in Salzburg/ Austria at May 28th/29th 2009. Together with Raphael Ritz from the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility we represent the Zope and Plone community and the language Python there.
Invited are over 50 persons from FOSS-/CMS-communities, universities and vendors.
Goal of the workshop is to identify the main-topics for future features in the area of semantic web and linked data needed by OpenSource CMS/KMS projects to support small and medium companies.
Provide me with your ideas, your requirements, projects on semantic web you did or know about in the Python (Zope/Plone/Repoze/Django/Pylon/TurboGears, etc.) world!
Just add an comment (using your OpenId) or write me an e-mail: jens@bluedynamics.com

Many scientific work exists about this topic, but the concepts didn't leave the laboratories.
But there exist some frameworks for python and zope!
