Semantic Web is hot. You’ve heard about it, you’ve read about it. The Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) is bringing Peter Mika from Yahoo! Research to Austin to do a full day on Semantic Web. From the event page:

While current search techniques aim at ever more sophisticated methods for searching over hypertext, the Semantic Web promises to break new boundaries in search by transforming the content itself into a form that is more easily processable by machines.

In this talk we discuss in-depth some of the technologies that can be used to annotate content for machine processing and showcase some of the ways that semantic annotations can be used to improve the search experience for users. Each part will consist of 60 minutes of presentations and 30 minutes of hands on work. This talk is intended for developers and researchers new to the Semantic Web, but also for publishers of Web content (site owners) and SEO specialists interested in preparing content for use by semantic-aware search engines and other applications. We will focus on the Web and formats used on the Web, although similar techniques are applicable to search in other contexts such as enterprise search or desktop search.

It’s on Saturday, June 27th from 9a -4p and it’s $20. You can’t beat that deal. Register here.
