The 4th European Semantic Technology Conference - ESTC2010 - is scheduled to be held in Vienna on December 2-3, 2010. The event is organised by STI International, a global network carrying out research, education, innovation and commercialisation activities on semantic technologies, facilitating their deployment within industry and society at large.
The conference seeks to bring together the world's leading thinkers, innovators, developers, engineers and senior practitioners within organisations responsible for information technology and systems in one place. The participants will learn about how to integrate this technology into their operations. The first day of the conference will be all about innovative business ideas, starting with Victor Henning, CEO, Mendeley, recounting his experience about how to get started and make a hit with an original business concept.
Following the keynote, selected startup companies will present their ideas to a panel of experts and venture capitalists at the ESTC Innovation Seed Camp. Later during the day, an expert panel will discuss the relationship between startups and VCs. The second panel, organised by StartEurope, will talk about the importance of interdisciplinary teams as a development challenge in startup companies.
Parallel to this topic line, two workshops will complement the programme: the ACTIVE Showcase workshop will present the developed possibilities on increasing organisational productivity, and the LOD2 workshop will cover business scenarios with Linked Enterprise Data.
Peter Mika from Yahoo! Research will open the second conference day, focusing his talk on semantic technologies for search and online media. The day will continue with invited talks by representatives from Salzburg Research, Innovatia and FTW. Two expert panels, with representatives from Verizon Communications Incorporation, Ontos AG, Atos Origin and Ontotext, will discuss the topics of Future Internet and Linked Open Data.
