Susan Brown and John Simpson presented a paper titled “From XML to RDF in the Orlando Project” at the 2013 International Conference on Culture and Computing in Kyoto, Japan, on September 16. The beginning of the conference was postponed due to a typhoon warning for Kyoto and the surrounding area that had shut down the train systems, preventing many attendees from arriving on time. The conference began in the afternoon with a slightly compressed scheduled.
The conference saw roughly 100 attendees and we were both pleased with the outcome of the presentation, which discussed our experiments to date with extracting semantic web (RDF) triples from Orlando documents. We enjoyed especially the ongoing discussion afterwards with Jieh Hsiang of the National University of Taiwan.
