Case Study: labs.sonyericsson.com — how to build a global community portal without programming

Sony Ericsson's first Drupal site ever, labs.sonyericsson.com, was planned, designed and implemented in just 462 hours by a team of five from NodeOne.

Two things made this possible:

Very close collaboration between NodeOne's team and the customer.
The power of Drupal modules such as CCK, Views, Flag and other which make it possible to build a such complex site with almost no programming.

Building community websites used to be a time consuming expensive process. Thanks to Drupal that is no longer true. In this presentation we will show you how and why!

Semantic Web fundamentals

The World Wide Web is the most successful linked information system that has ever existed. Hidden away in the original 1989 CERN memo proposing the Web are several ideas that are only now reaching fruition via W3C's RDF technology stack. This talk will show in practice how the full 1989 vision for the Web is being realised using RDF-based technologies (RDF/RDFa, SKOS, SPARQL, FOAF, OWL), and how the two concepts of information linking, and information layering are all you really need to understand a powerful suite of tools and standards for Web-based data sharing.
