- 2012-03-19: An important event for the national Semantic Technology community came: the Znalosti conference (co-founded by KEG members in 2001) will now be collocated with its Database Technology counterpart, Datakon. This reflects the tighter connection between semantics and large data processing as well as the growing amount of semantic tools usable in practice. The Znalosti 2012 website is up, and provisionally hosted at one of KEG-related servers. See also: Web of Znalosti 2012
