Please include your affiliation and specify the date of the session(s) when you are writing in to register and specify date of the session you plan to attend. ********************* Details ************************ These two sessions are jointly organized by the US federal data.gov program and the Ontolog community; with the support from the NYC-open-data, SMWcon-Spring2012, and OOR initiatives. The two sessions on 'Big Open Data' follows quite naturally from a few very exciting events lately: (a) the recent US federal government's thrust toward developing and leveraging 'Big Data' (b) the 3-month long OntologySummit2012 series of events that just finished a few weeks ago that was focused around the theme 'Ontology for Big Systems,' and (c) New York City's award of their 'Big Apps 3.0' grand prize to NYCfacets (capitalizing on ontology and semantic technologies) and the City's 'open data' initiative that followed. These sessions, like all Ontolog virtual events, are open and free of charge. Anyone who is interested, or (better still) who may have something to contribute, is welcome. Please refer to event details on the session pages, to which the hyperlink is given above, where you will find session agenda, conference call dial-in, slides and other pertinent information. Feel free to pass this invitation along to colleagues who may also find these sessions to be of interest. *RSVP* by emailing Peter Yim at <peter....@cim3.com> offline (or add yourself directly to the session page if you are already an Ontolog or Ontology Summit community member) so that we can prepare enough resources to support everyone. [Please state clearly the date of the session you are registering for in your email.] These sessions will be recorded and made available in a publicly accessible archive. Therefore, before participating, please make sure you are cognizant of our IPR policy (ref: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid32). Regards. =ppy For and on behalf of the Session Chairs Jeanne Holm, George Thomas, Jesse Wang & Peter Yim -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
