IKS - Interactive Knowledge Stack is an Integrating Project part-funded by the European Commission. It started in January 2009 and will provide an open source technology platform for semantically enhanced content management systems.The IKS project has adopted an open communication and development policy to guarantee innovative and relevant results. To support this, IKS will host workshops every six months to consult with CMS vendors, developers and end-users.
The first IKS workshop took place in Salzburg, Austria on 28-29 May 2009. It provided an open forum for a diverse group of CMS vendors and developers to have their say on semantic requirements for the Interactive Knowledge Stack. Outerthought delegates were Bruno Dumon and Steven Noels.
Despite the limited visibility of IKS, (project only launched in January 2009) interest in the workshop was strong across the board of CMS communities, with experts from as far as India and the USA expressing interest to attend. This justified not only the timely relevance of IKS given the current discussions on Semantic Web and Web 3.0, but also how receptive the CMS communities are to the topic semantic information technologies and services.
You'll find all the results of the workshop on the IKS website.
