Re: Good news from the EBI Semantic Web Industry Workshop and LODD members

Hi Dietrich,

In your previous message from May, I thought that the "(Slides will be
available soon)" applied to the last bullet point that they were part
of - that bullet point was about the tutorial. So, actually, I was
asking for a link to the slides from the tutorial.

Slides from the Industry Programme Workshop presentations would be
interesting to share with HCLS as well. Should I ask Dominic Clark
about that (now CC'd)?

Cheers,
Scott
