Laurin Herlt: "Semantics is stuck in labs”
Laurin Herlt has been involved in an innovative EU research project, the IKS-Project, a semantic open source platform for CMS providers. The IKS-Project covers 4 years and is EU sponsored. The project aims at bringing European CMS/KMS providers to the leading edge of innovation in knowledge technologies, for the benefit of all users.
In a number of workshops in Salzburg and Rome leading research institutions and CMS providers came together to brainstorm requirements and usecases, as well as planning the architecture of an interactive knowledge stack (IKS).“Semantic technologies and knowledge management have been around for many years. Yet an added value for greater number of endusers has never been reached.
Semantics is stuck in labs.
In the early adopter workshop in June 2010 two architecture components were presented: A semantic editor based on the Aloha Editor of Gentics and an OSGi based RESTful textcontent enrichment service. Both will soon be ready for test use by CMS providers.” Laurin Herlt claims.
On July 26 a Hackaton will take place in Helsinki with developers of Midgard and Gentics, to develop demos and usable results in the IKS Project.
