 Miltonthanks -I  am part of the LInkedin group but I had forgotten about it, probably due to cognitive and bandwidth constraints. I dont seem to get notifications, but my mailbox is overflowing. If there are interesting discussions going on in the group kindly repost them here from time to time CheersP

Dear all,
I more or less manage the LinkedIn group and there seems to be an interest in the subject judging by the five new members I added in less than a month.
Semantic Web User Interfaces are going to become a very important issue, because automated user interfaces and interactive digital dashboards will become hot items in eHealth, health in general, the Internet of Things and in collaboration platforms that gather, collect, process and mine huge amounts of data for collective use in open scientific collaboration networks.
Making all sorts of information and data from a wide range of sources, copyrighted, patented, open license etc. will require use of metadata, and create a huge potential for semantic web user interfaces.
As I promised some months ago, I am working on some overviews of what is out there, and am trying to get this sorted out, among others in established technologies, existing and proposed standards.
These are forth coming in the next two months.
I propose we wait 3 more months before we decide to close the Community Group.

 Thank you Lars!
Well, as chair, I felt that my role was mostly to gather the views of the group members, and facilitate self organization around the same. but  since has not been working much maybe we (Martin and I) should try to take more responsibility towards making things happen.
Keeping the group running is no effort, but its pointless unless enough members commit to goals and to activities to achieve the goals.
Roberto says he has entered some stuff in the DOC to summarise some of his recent activities, so what we can dois review whatever has been entered in the forms plus recent activities and see if we can make something out of itto justfiy keeping the group open.
The desire (and need) to work towards a unversal intelligent interface guidelines for the internet of things is still open I think whether we have the resources to make it happen here now, not sure
Before closing the group we ll have a think and a chat with other relate groups perhaps
thoughts and suggestions welcome

No progress from me this year...

Currently, I'm forced to cut down on extra activities so I cannot spend time on this topic this year. There is another project here in the DNB developing a pretty cool UI for a newspaper catalogue -- I'll post more information when there is something available in English.

It would be a pity, but as said, I'm currently not in a position to contribute. A corollary to that would be that it would feel incorrect to ask anyone to keep this group running for my sake...

Best,

Lars
