Review of: 3rd International Semantic Web User Interaction Workshop (SWUI2006)

4/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 21 Nov 2006

This workshop at ISWC2006 was a really interesting and useful day. The format mixed long and short paper presentations, a panel discussion, and breakout groups on specific issues. The papers covered a wide range of subjects around the theme of User Interaction and the Semantic Web, and the questions following the panel session started to get into some of the meaty issues we need to deal with as a community. A highlight for me was David Karger's pragamatic approach to all things Semantic Web, lending a healthy dose of realism to the broader Semantic Web programme as ISWC. The workshop did a great job of bringing together people who care about this subject. One of the greatest challenges now is ensuring that the rest of the Semantic Web community does too. If I could have changed one thing, then there would have been less disparity between the lengths of long and short papers, but that's a relatively minor quibble.
