SCRIBO – Semi-automatic and Collaborative Retrieval of Information Based on Ontologies – aims at algorithms and collaborative free software for the automatic extraction of knowledge from texts and images, and for the semi-automatic annotation of digital documents. SCRIBO has a total budget of 4.3Me and is partially funded by the French administration. It brings 9 participants together: AFP, CEA LIST, INRIA, LRDE (Epita), Mandriva, Nuxeo, Proxem, Tagmatica and XWiki.

The Scribo project will take part in the Open World Forum, the leading global summit bringing together decision-makers from across the world to discuss the technological, financial and social impact of open technologies. On October 1,2 2009, the Open World Forum 2009 will bring together all the key players in the open source ecosystem to cross-fertilize initiatives for innovation and economic growth.

This week the 4th FOMI (Formal Ontologies Meet Industry) workshop has been organized in conjunction with the European Conference of Knowledge Management 2009 in Vicenza (Italy).

The workshop is an international forum where academic researchers and industrial practitioners meet to analyze and discuss application issues related to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal ontologies.

From June 25 to 27 2009 the 4th International Conference on Communities and Technologies took place at the Pennsylvania State University in State College, PA, USA (see http://cct2009.ist.psu.edu/).

The Communities and Technologies biennial international conference serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating research on the complex connections between communities – both physical and virtual – and information and communication technologies. The C&T conference addresses researchers studying aspects of this interaction between communities and technologies, regardless of disciplinary background.

A main objective of INSEMTIVES is to support user communities to contribute to user-generated semantic content. In this respect the C&T conference series seems to be a valuable source of community-related research.

The proceedings of this conference are online now, available on the Website of the International Institute for Socio-Informatics (IISI):

On the IISI website you can find the proceedings of the three former C&T conferences as well.
