Workshops

     * 2016-10-19 (19 OCT) – 2016-10-20 (20 OCT)
       Web & Virtual Reality Workshop
       <https://www.w3.org/2016/06/vr-workshop/>
       Mountain View, CA, USA
       Hosted by Samsung
       The Workshop will look at the intersection of Web and Virtual Reality technologies. It aims at enabling the sharing of experiences between practitioners of the field, discuss existing gaps in the Web platform that make some Virtual Reality use cases difficult or impossible in browsers today, and explore what future standards are needed to pave the way for the Web to be one of the major VR platforms.
     * 2016-11-30 (30 NOV) – 2016-12-01 ( 1 DEC)
       Smart Descriptions & Smarter Vocabularies (SDSVoc)

       Amsterdam
       CWI with support from the VRE4EIC project
       The workshop will cover a variety of related issues: how to manage a vocabulary in a collaborative environment, how to define an application profile for human and machine consumption, how to request data using a specific profile and, as a prime example of all this - experiences of using "DCAT" that might lead to its extension.
