INTRODUCTION
The KnowledgeWeb Network of Excellence (http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org/)
is pleased to announce the second European Summer School on Ontological
Engineering and the Semantic Web. This summer school, presented
by leading researchers in the field, is the successor to the well-received
school held in 2003 as part of the activities
of the OntoWeb Network Consortium (http://
www.ontoweb.org). The school represents an opportunity for postgraduate
students to equip themselves with the range of theoretical and practical
skills necessary for full engagement with the challenges involved
in developing Ontologies and Semantic Web applications. Given the
high degree of interest in this new field, candidates will need
to book early to avoid disappointment. The school will be limited
to 50 participants.

APPROACH
SSSW-2004, following the model set by its predecessor, will have a practical orientation. To this end theoretical material will be augmented with hands-on workshops in which appropriate tools will be introduced and used to explore theoretical ideas. Furthermore, we will ensure that the theoretical sessions complement each other by linking them to a mini-project. Work on developing and presenting this project in cooperation with other participants will serve as a means of consolidating the knowledge and skills gained from lectures and practical sessions.
Participants will be provided with a copy of all
course lectures and access to a PC with all the necessary tools
and environments pre-installed.
