Powell-Booth Room 100

The second Practical Semantic Astronomy Workshop took place last week at the University of Glasgow. The workshop brought together experts from a broad range of disciplines using semantic technologies, alongside practitioners experimenting with these technologies to address current problems in astroinformatics. The workshop’s aims were to:

* inform how semantic technologies are being used successfully in other sciences
* reveal what semantic activities are emerging in astronomy
* foster greater communication between groups working in this exciting area
