The Ensemble Project is running an invited one-day workshop entitled “A Semantic Web App in a Day” at this year’s Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) Conference. The workshop is on the 14th April 2011, at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Participants will be able to find out about semantic and ‘linked-data’ technologies, as well as about the work of the project. They will then be able to build a semantic web application of their own, much as project participants have been able to, using the SIMILE Exhibit Web Application Framework.
This booklet, produced by the project as an introduction to the ‘Exhibit’, will be used during the workshop and the Ensemble team will provide further guidance to participants who want to take their work forward.
