Co-organizing OWLED 2015 and attending ISWC2015

LeoLOD team members, Agnieszka Ławrynowicz and Jędrzej Potoniec, as well as a project’s collaborator Raul Palma (Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center) were participating last week in the 14th International Semantic Web Conference ISWC’2015, and associated workshops, taking place in Bethlehem, PA (USA) in October 11-15, 2015.

Agnieszka Ławrynowicz presented a joint work with Ilona Ławniczak (a Master Student, LeoLOD team member) at the Workshop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns – WOP2015. Slides from the presentation are available from slideshare.

Agnieszka Ławrynowicz and Raul Palma were also attending co-located 12th OWL: Experiences and Directions Workshop (OWLED2015).

OWLED2015 was co-organized by Agnieszka as an Ontology Track chair together with Valentina Tamma (University of Liverpool), Mauro Dragoni (Fondazione Bruno Kessler), and a Protégé team member Rafael Gonçalves (Stanford University).
Agnieszka also moderated a panel on „OWL & industry” featuring Mike Bennett (Hypercube), Peter Haase (metaphacts), Dave McComb (Semantic Arts) and Jodi Wachs (Cerner) as panelists.

Both events were very successful, featuring a mix of great invited talks, paper presentations and lively discussions.
