Hi All, I wanted to give you a brief summary of last week's exciting 9th Extended Semantic Web Conference ==Overview== - The conference showcased the best the community has to offer with a 25% acceptance rate for technical track submissions. - Again the conference continued the tradition of fantastic keynote speakers including a novel and well received keynote from political strategist Julius van der Laar as well as leaders in the filed like Monica Lam (Stanford) and Alon Halevy (Google).
