Presentation Events

This map shows the locations of a series of DIP and WSMO tutorials which we have been presenting since 2004. The DIP project aims to apply semantic web technology to automate the construction of applications from web service components. The conceptual framework for DIP is based on the Web Services Modelling Ontology (WSMO) the building blocks of which are Ontologies, Goals, Mediators and Web Services.

Each tutorial has been customised for the specific target audience and typically contains:

  • The overall vision of the semantic web
  • An outline of Web services technologies including current problems
  • An overview of semantic Web services research
  • A detailed description of WSMO
  • An overview of the representation language WSML
  • A walkthrough of the associated implementations WSMX and IRS-III
  • A hands-on session using the reference implementations

A number of the tutorials have been conducted with our colleagues in the semantic web services area and these have included overviews of OWL-S and tools to support automatic composition.
