The presentations in a NKOS session aim to cover the intersection between NKOS and metadata, especially the main topic of the conference: Metadata for Semantic and Social Applications. They should demonstrate what NKOSwork could contribute to metadata solutions and issues.
There will be three hours available for a NKOS special session (plus a half hour break). The successful formula 2005 was to feature three main presenters and to allow half of the session time for discussion related to each presentation.
This time, we plan to feature one main presentation on each topic, followed by a comprehensive discussion lead by a discussant/enabler/opponent. Hopefully, colleagues from different communities can be involved in each topic.
The slides are available as a single PDF file (16 MB)
