CEDAR Project Review Meeting

The ANR Chair of Excellence project CEDAR will come to its programmed end on January 14, 2015. Started on January 15, 2013, this project's objective has been to put extant Semantic Web technology through testing with regards to scalability and distribution. Along such technology, we also include our own, developed as proof-of-concept prototypes and experiments in the course of the project.

We have learned a lot during this short-lived experimental project. We have also been able to come up with a few original results and ideas of our own worthy of assessment by a panel of independent experts.

Thus, we will be holding a CEDAR recap meeting on Friday, November 28, 2014 at the Nautibus Building, on the La Doua campus of the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, in Villeurbanne, France. It will be a one-day technical meeting consisting of two parts: a morning session in which the CEDAR project members will present the nature of their work and the progress made in the course of the project up to that date; and an afternoon session in which invited experts will, each in turn, share their assessment of the material presented to them in the morning, followed by a general discussion and synthetic recapitulation of the meeting's proceedings.
