Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is a network of people researching on and working with Linked Data in various organizations. People of this network conduct research of international impact and create Open Source tools used by many people every day. To support this work we have founded the Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) e.V.. The association aims to promote the creation, dissemination and development of open, linked data and tools, operates scientific networks and promotes cooperation between universities and colleges as well as between organizations in the field of semantic technologies, Open Data and Open Source.

Goals

• Development of methods, tools and applications for adaptive Knowledge Engineering in the context of the Semantic Web
• Research of underlying Semantic Web technologies and development of fundamental Semantic Web tools and applications
• Maturation of strategies for fruitfully combining the Social Web paradigms with semantic knowledge representation techniques

AKSW is committed to the free software, open source, open access and open knowledge movements.
