                   Call for Participation
              
                ******WWW2002 Workshop ******

             Real World RDF and Semantic Web Applications
	in conjunction with the 2002 International WWW Conference

                      May 7, 2002 
                   Honolulu, Hawaii
            http://paul.rutgers.edu/~kashyap/workshop.html

The Semantic Web is a key initiative being promoted by the World 
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as the next generation of the current 
web. The objective of this workshop is to discuss commercial 
applications that make immediate advances and to gain insight 
into the evolution of semantic web technology. Early commercial 
applications that make use of machine-understandable metadata 
range from information retrieval to Web-enabling of old-tech IBM 
3270 sessions. Current developments include metadata-based 
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) systems, data modeling 
solutions, and wireless applications.Machine-understandable metadata 
is emerging as a new foundation for component-based approaches to 
application development, with web services representing the latest
architectural advancement. In the workshop we have presentations dealing
with real world issues and prototypes that attempt to realize the
semantic web today, even if in a limited manner. The workshop will
have some long and mostly short presentations and time will be reserved
at the end for open session of brainstorming and discussions
