Abstract

This session will examine RDF from a purely practical point of view. Several projects and a number of tools and utilities will be described and demonstrated. The goal of this session is to demonstrate that there are practical applications of RDF today that can offer real benefits and that are relatively easy to deploy.

In addition to several presentations, there will be plenty of time for questions and general discussion.
