ESWC2010 is starting today, but some workshops and tutorials have already been held on sunday and monday. Besides the SPOT2010 workshop, I'm happy to announce that sparqlPuSH won the Semantic Web Scripting Challenge prize ! Here are the slides of the presentation.

SFSW2010 was actually the last edition of the SFSW workshop series. As shown in the closing session, lots of things happened in the community since 2005, when there was almost no API for managing RDF data on the Web, scalable RDF store, UI nor mash-ups. I believe that these SFSW workshops played an important role in that move, building a pragmatic vision of the Semantic Web landscape. Thank you guys for that !

Besides that, the conference is ongoing for the next three days and I'm presenting our demo paper on dbrec today, and in the demo session tonight (dbrec is also participating in the AI mashup challenge, so your votes are highly welcome :-). Slides will be uploaded after the presentation, and here's some teasing, since I'll avoid the usual bullet-points approach for these ones. Edit : here are the slides of the short presentation.

Here is a screencast I've just made about SPARCool for tomorrow's SFSW Challenge, as I'm unfortunately not in ESWC this year.
The list of challenge submissions and related papers is online and here's the SPARCool one.

Today was my last day of work at EDF R&D.

Un de mes tort sur ce blog est sans doute de ne pas publier assez en français. Heureusement certains s'en chargent, et plutôt bien. Voila donc 2 billets au sujet de SMOB, un premier par (l'inévitable ;-) ) Gautier, et un second de Nicolas accompagné d'un excellent screencast.
