          FAO-UN, Roma, Italy 15-17 December 2008
                http://swapconf.it/2008/

SWAP 2008 aims at giving an overview of work performed by the Semantic  
Web community, and aims to attract researchers, developers and  
interested practitioners alike.
The setting for the workshop is highly interactive, and presentations  
are expected to focus on practical aspects and open problems.

The workshop will cover either theoretical or implementation issues  
that relate to Semantic Web Applications.

This year SWAP will feature tutorials and keynote lectures by  
internationally renowned researchers from the Semantic Web community  
(see below).
The workshops will include 25 scientific papers presentations and a  
poster session.

As a joint event with SWAP, the artist Gerry Turano will present an  
exhibition including drawings, reliefs, and sculptures that are  
metaphorically
associated with the themes of the workshop. For more information,
