The AKSW workgroup co-hosts the conference on Social Semantic Web, September 26-28th in Leipzig, Germany. The well known entrepreneur and innovator Kingsley Idehen will give an invited talk on “Hello Data Web - Exposing the Data Web”. Submission deadline for CSSW is June 1st, so still much time to prepare a submission. All details are to be found at http://aksw.org

We’ve released Version 0.95 of our OntoWiki / Powl Semantic Web application suite. New features include an OntoWiki Command Line Interface (owcli), which is a PHP command line script for administration and remote control of OntoWiki models. Other changes are:

• system ontology translation updates (nl)
• code and gui cleanups (OntoWiki)
• installation improvements
• further steps towards MSIE compatibility
• shipping with newest RAP version
• some bugfixes (Powl API, OntoWiki)

You can download this release at SourceFourge

BTW: pOWL is now written Powl to avoid questions on how to pronounce the name

The query browser and builder interface for our Wikipedia extraction is (re-)launched. You can build your own queries on the semantic database containing over 10 million facts extracted from the English Wikipedia at: http://wikipedia.aksw.org.
