Chris, You might want to contact the JISC IUGO project folks at Bristol (Nikki Rogers (bcc'ed), et al), some of the same people also did the CREW project in collaboration with Manchester - I'm sure they must have worked through many of these issues. Also, I'd be happy to assemble a list of candidates you find effective via the ADMIRAL project or JISC Developer Focus - it sounds like the sort of thing we should be assembling guidance for, especially within "our" UK HE/FE community. #g -- Chris Rusbridge wrote: > Michael, thanks for this. As may be clear, I'm interested in how we can use RDF, Linked Data etc but not any kind of expert. I'm just looking for guidance on what sorts of vocabularies we should use in our new (Drupal-based) web site. It has been very confusing to me that there is no such clear guidance; there seems to be a sort of inspired adhoc approach, which works perhaps if you know what you're doing, but not otherwise. > > In this case, I'm looking for an ontology to encode events, ie workshops, conferences, training sessions, meetings.
