2nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2003)
ISWC2003 offers you the opportunity to be
a corporate sponsor of the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2003),
which will be held in
The ISWC conference is a major meeting for bringing researchers and practitioners together, and for helping both to describe critical paths for web development and to help in transferring this emerging technology to industrial use. The Semantic Web area is an important and dynamic sub-field of web R&D, which attracts a growing industrial community as well as from the World Wide Web consortium and significant interest and funding from both the US and EU governments. This increasing interest presents an opportunity for your organization to be associated with this important trend in the web of the future.
The Semantic Web is already producing a new Web that provides a machine understandable meaning to Web pages. By accessing directly the meaning of pages, computers can harvest information, saving us the time and effort to read pages and pages to find the information we seek. To this extent the Semantic Web is becoming a fertile environment for Data Mining and Information Retrieval across the web and across heterogeneous Databases. Furthermore, the growing community of Web Services is already taking advantage of the emergence of the Semantic Web to reduce the automatic interoperability barrier.
To highlight the growing range of industrial applications of the Semantic Web, in ISWC2003 we will organize an industrial track that will provide an opportunity to showcase new products and the contribution from industry side. The exhibition will be held during the conference, and it will offer an excellent chance you should not miss to brand your company with your products and services.
