P3: Will the Semantic Web Scale?
Raphael Volz, University of Karlsruhe Scalability may not be the latest fad or sexy issue, but its importance in applications will finally determine whether the Semantic Web is a mirage. Scalability is often a key requirement for the usefulness of applications in practice to users. Scalability also presents a regular challenge to developers. Its difficulty ensures the interest of researchers, e.g., most of database research is centered around achieving scalability. The panel will discuss scalability from a theoretical, technical and practical perspective and should therefore be interesting to users, developers and researchers. You can learn more about the panel and provide questions for the panelists on debate.semanticweb.org. |

P5: Web Semantics and Web Services: a marriage made
in heaven?
Katia Sycara, CMU There seems to be some common agreement that "more semantics is needed" in Web Services. (For example, many members of the WSD Working Group agree that WSDL is way too thin, semantically speaking). Significant disagreement lies in what that "more semantics" is. So, a question that can be profitably asked may not be "whether semantics", but "which semantics"? Are the current technologies of the Semantic Web enough to bring value added semantics to web services? Are there additional or different Web semantic technologies that would be more effective? Are there any strong drivers for bringing the two technologies together? |

P4: On Culture in a Worldwide Information Society:
Long Term Preservation of Digital Archives
Alfredo Ronchi Rapid changes in technology make preservation of digital content a challenge. Taking into account the huge amount of data to be filed, the amount of time to accomplish with this task and more over the period of time we need to store such information, we have to value objectively a problem up till now widely underestimated and that is the conservation for long periods of time of digital information. This subject takes us to consider two aspects, the first is technological obsolescence and the second the 'temporary instinct' of the so-called 'permanent supports'. The biological clock of ICT beats smaller time slices compared to those considered worldwide in the field of cultural heritage. Digital formats becomes suddenly obsolete and disappear. An extraordinarily long-lived solution, such as the PC/DOS in great favour for over twenty years, represents a short-lived apparition if compared to the time spent in state owned archives. Computer systems are aging, media on which information is stored are disintegrating, the magnetic technology diskette survives without problems for thousands of hours but not enough to be considered 'permanent' for those aims. What are the long-term implications if we rely on current digital technology to preserve our cultural memory? Long term preservation of digital archives is a issue not only for cultural content but even for e-government and social services. |

P8: Standardized Uniqueness: Standards as the Key to
Personalized Learning
Philip Dodds, U.S. Advanced Distributed Learning
Initiative The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a compilation of specifications and standards to enable effective Web-based learning. Learning technology standards are typically viewed as imposing constraints on how learning can be designed and delivered. The panelists take the opposite view---standards provide the key enabling technology for delivery of personalized learning on a global scale. The panelists have been involved as experts in both the definition and adoption of SCORM. They will discuss core issues around the broad application of SCORM and standards to learning, including exploring how SCORM is evolving, supporting adoption at scale, and killing common myths about learning and standards. |

P1: Is interoperability a futile quest?
David Marston, IBM Research We begin by describing the new-in-2003 W3C guidelines that will make interoperability more provable. W3C Working Groups (WGs) will present a more integrated view of their requirements in the future, by providing tests in addition to specs. Then we will broaden our range to all the organizations attempting to set standards and guidelines for the Internet, looking at how notions of "conformance" should drive interoperability. Sanctioned conformance tests supplement marketplace pressure, but sanctioning them is more work for the WGs. The volunteer/contributed efforts in the WGs are hard-pressed to serve the ideals of interoperability. |

P7: Why do XForms Now?
Mark Seaborne, Origo Services XForms is a new technology from W3C. HTML Forms have formed the basis of the e-forms revolution, but after a decade of experience it is clear where they could be improved. XForms is based on an analysis of the shortcomings of HTML Forms, and the requirements for future generations of e-forms. XForms was released as a specification late last year, and at release time was the most implemented W3C specification at release date ever. This panel is made up of representatives from the XForms working group, and represent a broad range from industry and research. The issues that will be addressed are around what XForms offers, and why these are necessary for future forms usage. |

P6: Multimodal Interaction Using XML -- Are we
there yet?
Wu Chou, Avaya, Chair of EMMA subgroup, W3C Multimodal
Interaction WG Distinguished Panelists: Intelligent human-machine communication is the ultimate challenge for computing machines, and multimodal interaction is the most natural way to conduct human-machine communication. Although the emergence of the Web and XML markup languages holds new promise to move human-machine communication to the next level, many critical factors still remain unknown. This panel discussion will explore the use of XML and the Web environment to enable multimodal interaction, taking a critical view of current practice and identifying new directions in this area. The panelists will consist of experts from industry, academia and the Web and XML standards communities. This panel discussion is in line with the multimodal interaction standards effort at W3C, where XML standard development work for multimodal interaction is underway. |
