Dear all, I am really sorry I won't be able to attend, it looks like it will be a lot of fun. So, for the benefit of those not present, please make sure that you record as much outcome of the various activities as possible, preferrably in the wiki (of course ;-)).

So, in the same spirit, I'd like to propose some refinations of this ideat: Let us start building a page where the characteristics of the various wiki models are listed, to be later filled in by each author of a semantic wiki engine. The idea is that the various SWIMMs should be able to provide precise answers (some, many, all) those questions. Ideally, this list should be available even before the workshop, so people can prepare to update it, and fill in their specific info either before, at the workshop or after it... Max's list is a nice starting point, to which I would add - Is a page a resource? or, more generally (along the alternatives outlined by Max above), what is the relation between a Wiki page and a resource (in the RDF sense)? - what is the versioning model? - are "regular" links distinguished from "semantic" links? how? - how is semantic information used for the interface (if at all)? - is semantic information used in access control? - ... > > 4) Self-tagging (optional) > ------------------------- > On your ESWC2006 name tag, please write in big, readable letters one > or two keywords on which you would like to be asked about in the > coffee breaks.
