If you know of good material, please add a link in the appropriate category. If you would personally recommend a particular document, please add your name by it (feel free to add links you're not sure about, and change your mind as more links appear). Provisional target is 3 really good docs in each category, not including specs.

If you believe the categories need changing (revising or new categories adding) please add a comment here.

Once we have tutorials and are happy with our list, we can upload it to REASE who then will do a ../ReaseForSweo portal

To Do

* check listings on del.icio.us

The projects REWERSE and Knowledge Web developed a repository for learning units, called REASE (http://rease.semanticweb.org) There you can find educational material as well as educational acivities for the Semantic Web. There are different material types such as case studies, tutorials or presentations targeted not only to industry. (Dunja)

• figure out how to incorporate slides & A/V material

• * Ivan's Slides

• * check out audio visual material around here : http://www.semantic-conference.com/2007/recordings/ASX/0522/1145/SixWeeksToTheSemanticWeb.asx
