Tomorrow morning, very early, me and some collegues of mine are going to leave for Tenerife, to attend at the 5th edition of the “European Semantic Web Conference” (ESWC), in which we will also have to present two of our scientific papers. The ESWC is one of the most important european event about the Semantic Web, during which the last research results and applications will be presented.

The ESWC conference will be certainly a very important event for my research activities and for my current work. But…this time, I’m not very happy to leave…
