Coll Meeting at the SemWeb San Fran

[Garker]

This is in downtown san fran today.

We need to have an "installfest"

This will be a hands-on ontology modeling session with Dean Allemang.
Dean will demonstrate the use of TopBraid Composer, an ontology editor
from TopQuadrant.

Dean Allemang from TopQuadrant will give a tour of TopBraid Composer,
our popular ontology engineering environment. The presentation will be
focused on the Free Edition of TopBraid Composer, and its use for some
common ontology engineering tasks, e.g., Reading RDFa, managing
vocabularies in SKOS, querying data with SPARQL, and utilizing SPIN, a
SPARQL-based inference mechanism.
