This year the XML<\/span> Sum\u00admer School<\/a> in Oxford is at the end of Septem\u00adber, rather a change from pre\u00advi\u00adous years, when it was in July. This morn\u00ading on the organ\u00adising call we decided that we need to go punt\u00ading on the Monday before din\u00adner rather than after din\u00adner, since the even\u00adings will be dark soon\u00ader, but that\u2019s about the only draw\u00adback to the late-sum\u00admer timing. <\/p>\n

Apart from being heav\u00adily involved in organ\u00adising the event, I\u2019m chair\u00ading two courses this year. There\u2019s Trends and Tran\u00adsi\u00adents<\/a>, a fun day with lots of dis\u00adcus\u00adsion and debate about hyped, over-hyped, and cur\u00adrent tech\u00adno\u00adlogy issues. This year we have Tony Coates<\/a> talk\u00ading about how XML<\/span> could have saved us from the cur\u00adrent fin\u00adan\u00adcial crisis (some\u00adwhat tongue-in-cheek), Paul Downey<\/a> rant\u00ading on what\u2019s wrong with Rich Inter\u00adnet Applic\u00ada\u00adtions, and Rich Salz<\/a> telling you what to look for and avoid in cloud com\u00adput\u00ading. The day is capped off by uncon\u00adfer\u00adence ses\u00adsions in the even\u00ading where every\u00adone gets to have their say in as much length as people will listen to them. <\/p>\n

New this year is the oth\u00ader course I\u2019m chair\u00ading, the Semant\u00adic Tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies<\/a> course, where Bob DuCh\u00adarme<\/a>, Leigh Dodds<\/a>, Andy Seaborne<\/a>, and Duncan Hull<\/a> are join\u00ading forces to teach classes in Linked Data, OWL<\/span>, RDF<\/span>, SPARQL<\/span>, and all those oth\u00ader acronyms that are form\u00ading the basis of what some people are call\u00ading Web 3.0. I\u2019m look\u00ading for\u00adward to catch\u00ading up on what\u2019s new in all of these, and fig\u00adur\u00ading out wheth\u00ader some might be use\u00adful for a pro\u00adject I have in mind.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t decided which oth\u00ader courses and classes I\u2019ll sit in on yet; they all look good<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
