Report: Provenance Working Group 2nd Face-to-Face Meeting

This meeting focused on the issues of how we can make ...

Get comments on the Water Quality Portal from AGU 2011
AGU 2011 was the 1st conference I attended after I came to RPI. There were many interesting activities in the conference and I feel this is a very rewarding experience. I had the poster for the semantic water quality portal and also helped a little bit with the RPI table in the academic section (by just being there). I went to several talks and visited some exhibit booths. We had a group lunch at Chevy's, which was very fun! Preparing the poster helped me to rethink the water quality portal. Thank Evan for his poster for ISWC 2011, which was ...

My First AGU Experience
