Tonight's talk: 
Semantic Apps with CubicWeb 
by Sandrine Ribeau 

The CubicWeb framework makes a construction game of building 
semantic web applications that have both a HTML/Ajax rich 
user interface and a RDF/OWL-based data interface.

This talk introduces the design of CubicWeb, focusing on key 
differences from other frameworks, such as applying views to 
selections of objects implementing the required interface, 
multi-database support, migration and versioning for maintenance 
over several years, and truly reusable components, with examples 
of integration within the Linked Data cloud, with Google Maps, 
and with faceted search.


..... 9:00 PM to 9:30 PM  ................
Mapping and Random Access

Mapping is a rapid-fire audience announcement of topics 
the announcers are interested in. 

Random Access follows immediately to allow follow up 
individually on the announcements and other topics of 
interest.
