ESWC'06 Tutorial: Application Development with the Sesame Framework
Introduction

We will be hosting a tutorial/workshop session at the upcoming European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2006), on June 11.

The title of the tutorial is "Application Development with the Sesame Framework" and the session will be co-presented by Jeen Broekstra of Aduna, Atanas Kiryakov of OntoText, and James Leigh of Workbrain.

This tutorial aims at giving Semantic Web application developers and researchers an introduction into the many features and possiblities of the Sesame RDF framework, including advanced querying using SeRQL and SPARQL, using the Sesame Java APIs for programmatic manipulation of large RDF graphs, and doing scalable OWL reasoning using the OWLIM reasoner plugin.

The goal of the tutorial is to make researchers and developers aware of the advantages of using the Sesame framework for their own development work, and giving them the knowledge to get started quickly with using Sesame effectively.
