[tdwg-spm] SPM session at TDWG Conference

[Eamonn O Tuama]

Thanks, Bob. I think this could be very informative in helping people get to
grips with RDf and SPM. I'll add you to the list.

Best regards,

Éamonn

I can give a little demo of how Protege and Altova SemanticWorks can
help one come to terms (pun intended) with SPM. An abstract might be
something like this:

----
Coming to Terms with SPM/RDF.
Although the ultimate point is to generate SPM programmatically, the
use of tools like Protege and Altova SemanticWorks can ease the
learning burden, and of course serve as a debugging aid, if properly
configured. I  will discuss, with demonstration, how I used these
tools to come to terms with SPM.
----

Actually, someone should probably give a survey of tools at least by
name and function, and it should be on the wiki in advance. But a
stroll through Protege and SemanticWorks after such a talk would
warrant 15 minutes, I think.
