CETIS 2007 Conference Semantics A Semantic Infrastructure for Learning, Education and Training by Tore Hoel Oslo University College/eStandard Vicechair CEN/ISSS WS-LT

Slow uptake - great potentials

Why so slow? For organisational & semantical interoperability we need trust Why are not vocabularies reused more often? RDF is easy to explain to machines Topic Maps is easy to explain to humans But, it does not help much when we lack... Tools and demonstrators
