SWAD-E (Semantic Web
Advanced Development Europe) was set up to support W3C's
Semantic Web initiative in Europe, providing targeted research,
demonstrations and outreach to ensure Semantic Web technologies
move into the mainstream of networked computing. HP Labs particpated in this project and
provided two demonstrators, semantic blogging and semantic
portals.

SWWS (Semantic Web
enabled Web Services)
The recent coming together of web services technology with
semantic web technology, to give semantic web services, is
providing promising initial results to help with this. The
vision driving semantic web services research is ambitious;
Machine readable descriptions of how a component interoperates
allow it to be instantaneously and automatically integrated with
other components. That vision still a way off, but already the
technology can provide assistance to an integrator to
significantly speed up the integration time.
SWWS was created to apply
semantic web technology to support mechanising service
recognition, service configuration and combination, service
comparison and automated negotiation. HP Labs in Bristol were one of the
partners, with responsibility for two case studies.

Bristol
We have worked with the Institute for Learning and Research
Technology (ILRT), on projects such as
ARKive-ERA
(Educational Repurposing of Assets) project and other
applications of Semantic Web concepts and technologies to
repurposing of multimedia resources in the contexts of
specialist communities of interest.

University of Southampton
The CROSI project (Capturing
Representing and Operationalising Semantic Integration)
completed in 2005, was a joint research project between the
University of
Southampton, School of Electronics and Computer
Science and Hewlett Packard
Laboratories, with background support from the Advanced Knowledge
Technologies IRC. CROSI deliverables include a comprehensive
survey on semantic integration systems and a dedicated ontology
mapping system, CMS (CROSI Mapping System).
