FIZ Karlsruhe presented io-port.net at the BTW 2005

BTW 2005, a symposium organised by the Institut für Angewandte Informatik und Formale Beschreibungsverfahren (AIFB) of the University of Karlsruhe and held from March 2nd to March 4th, 2005, provided an attractive opportunity to introduce FIZ Karlsruhe and the co-operative project “io-port.net“ to an interested scientific audience from all over Germany.
The BTW symposia of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI), organised for the first time 20 years ago by the University of Karlsruhe (TH), are the central forum for database systems in business, technology and WEB. The agenda of BTW 2005 included lectures, workshops and discussions about database technologies and their application in IT systems, as well as a comprehensive program for enterprises in industry.

The BTW 2005 gave us the opportunity to show ourselves as a competent project partner and provider of information services.

An important aim of the presentation of io-port.net was to contact potential users and to acquire them for upcoming system tests (registrations for system tests were made directly).

The user feedback will be analysed and used for the further development of the portal and for targeted marketing activities.

We could also contact other providers of input (authors).

October 2002

On October 15th, 2002, all partners involved in the FIS-I and SemIPort projects met at FIZ Karlsruhe’s premises. During this meeting, both projects were presented in detail, the current status was explained and further steps were discussed and scheduled. The first joint aim of the two projects was to use the ontology developed by SemIPort to carry out extended operations (navigation, search) with the data. To this end, a common meta data format had to be established.

On July 24^th, 2002, the FIS-I project team held a kick-off meeting in Frankfurt. After the activities which had been carried out up to then with the databases in Karlsruhe, Berlin, Trier and München had been explained, the future content and the distribution of tasks as well as the integration of decentralised data were discussed. Other topics were a prospective co-operation with publishers and scientific institutions, and additional content and functionalities of the informatics portal. The participants agreed to present a prototype at the 33^rd Annual Meeting of the GI in September 2003 in Frankfurt/Main.
