At the New Orleans ACS in April 2008, there will be a reprise of the "social networking" session; last time it attracted some 15 speakers and was considered amongst the more successful sessions (it received a brief write up in C&E News).
I suspect this time, not a few of the talks will concentrate on eg Facebook etc. I thought instead a presentation highlighting the Blue Obelisk group itself might counterbalance this nicely. For this to work, can I ask as many of you as have the time to consider making available a FOAF entry. These are being collected at http://blueobelisk.sourceforge.net/wiki/Members where you can see three entries already. Egon is going to write an aggregator, which will automatically collect the entries, and deposit the RDF into a triple store. This can then be queried appropriately. Hopefully, it will eg reveal Blue Obelisk activities eg at ACS. I will also update mine to include any articles with BO-activities in my publications list, talks (other than ACS), projects (the NMR project currently under way with Christoph/Peter), etc etc. You should be able to log in/create an account on this Wiki, and add you entry yourself, but you could also send your FOAF URL to me directly. For this to make sense, we probably need at least 10 FOAFS. If anyone wants to contributed in other ways, we will also put your name on the ACS abstract presentation (currently, Egon and I are co-authors). -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (020) 7594 5774 (Voice); +44 (0870) 132 3747 (eFax); [EMAIL PROTECTED] (iChat) http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ Dept.
