Dear fellow researchers, Semantic Web enthusiasts, citizens of the Web, it is my pleasure to invite you to the second VoCamp in France, and the first ever in Paris which will take place on 13th and 14th May. The VoCamp is generously sponsored by Hypios.com - a young and innovative company that runs a marketplace for problems and innovative solutions. Our research department is working on Semantic Web technologies to support the problem solving networks, and it is our great pleasure to host this VoCamp and gather with fellow Seamntic Web researchers. For those unfamiliar with VoCamp, VoCamp is a series of free informal events where people can spend some time creating and maintaining lightweight vocabularies/ontologies/thesauruses for the Semantic Web/Web of Data/Linked Open Data. (see http://vocamp.org/ ) The VoCamp idea is influenced by BarCamp but is oriented to hands-on technical work and practical outputs to publish new vocabularies. The emphasis of the events is not on creating the perfect ontology in a particular domain, but on creating vocabularies that are good enough for people to start using for publishing data on the Web. VoCamps are free for participants. HypiosVoCamp Paris is organized by Alexandre Monnin [1] and myself [2]. Hurry up and register while there are still places left: http://vocamp.org/wiki/HypiosVoCampParisMay2010 Please feel free to distribute this announcement further.
