   Humans and the Semantic Web - Cynthia Parr

   Though the semantic web is designed for machine
   readability, people still create, maintain, or use the
   ontologies that are required. This workshop will consider
   special issues in ontology visualization, survey existing
   editors and search interfaces, and identify gaps and new
   directions. Researchers will present their work in short
   presentations, and hands-on opportunities will be
   available to those who bring notebook computers. Special
   focus will be on biological ontologies, but the expertise
   of the participants will inform the discussion.

To apply, contact Cynthia Parr (csparr@umd.edu) by May 1st,
with a brief description of your background and reason for
interest in the workshop.  For more information, see
