Glad to hear that the term "semantic web" is so controversial. This will be
a topic at the new GCA event coming up in Austin Texas, March 4-7. Knowledge
Technologies 2001 will introduce the next technology revolution. Based on
attendance at the recent GCA XML events, the sessions on topic maps, RDF,
ontologies, semantics, and knowledge management have been the most well
attended. Thus, GCA is introducing this new event. It replaces the Xtech
series usually held in the same time slot.

A Conference Board of Advisors has been established to oversee the event:

Eric Miller, Senior Research Scientist, OCLC Online
Chris Mellor, President, Wolters Kluwer International Health and Science
Ann Wrightson, KnoW Steering Grouup
Steve Pepper, CTO, Ontopia AS
Michel Biezunski, Infoloom, co-editor, Topic Maps
Dan Connolly, XML Activity Lead, W3C
Mills Davis, CXO and Senior VP, PrintCafe
Jim King, Director, Technology and Business Strategy, Microsoft Corporation
Dominic Shakeshaft, VP Web Products, Wrox Press
Chris Wolff, VP New e-Analytical Opportunities, West Group

I would invite you to submit a paper for this event. For more information on
Knowledge Technologies and the selection process, please visit the event web
site at:

and a p.s. To dispell some recent rumors, the Xtreme Markup Technologies
event was extremely successful. Xtreme 2001 will take place in Montreal,
Quebec,  Canada, August 6-10, 2001. Watch for details!
