CS594 "Semantic Web: Models and Query Languages" - List of Projects

Here is a list of topics for presentations/projects. I suggest you start looking at the papers in view of the presentation. Then consider how to implement the ideas in the paper or how to make use of those ideas for your own project. I suggest that for the proposal for the talk, you write an annotated bibliography of the papers you intend to cover (the link is to a nice one put together by Shawn Bowers, a PhD student at OGI).

The projects that are emphasized in bold have been chosen already by a group. Currently, 12 Projects/Presentation topics have been chosen, a nice coverage of Semantic Web topics.
