    Abstract WebLabs are novel eLearning applications with a promising future. Once a WebLab reaches the state of stable prototype, there are still many issues that have to be taken care of before the system can be considered a first quality web based application. In the following pages some of these issues are addressed, and pointers are given so as to take the first steps in dealing with WebLab security, accessibility, collaborative development and multilinguality.

    Resumen Los objetivos del proyecto XemGrid son tres: a) estudiar y desarrollar una ontología que defina y represente adecuadamente los Grid services que puedan existir en la Grid, utilizando información semántica para mejorar su descubrimiento, b) plantear la arquitectura del registro de Grid services que servirá para indexarlos, yc) diseñar el descubridor de servicios necesario para realizar búsquedas en el registro.

    This paper presents a generic semantic discovery algorithm, based in OWL, for UDDI registries that is not bound to any specific ontology or concepts from it. It enables to match instances and properties without specifically knowing the ontologies being matched and it enables to use all concepts contained in the request resulting in a matching closer to the user needs. Also, the generality of the proposed algorithm enables to change the ontology being used to describe an element in the registry without needing to modify the algorithm and therefore, it enables to use other OWL ontologies to describe the information stored in the registry.

    The notion of context has been widely studied and there are several authors that have proposed different definitions of context. However, context has not been widely studied in the framework of human mobility and the notion of context has been directly imported from other computing fields without specifically addressing the tourism domain requirements. In order to store and manage context information a context data model is needed. Ontologies have been widely used in context modelling, but many of them are designed to be applied in general ubiquitous computing environments, do not contain specific concepts related to the tourism domain or some approaches do not contain enough concepts to represent context information related to the visitor or tourist on the move as we need in the TourExp project. That is why we propose a new approach to provide a better solution to model context data in tourism environments, adding more value to our solution reusing Open Data about tourist resources from Open Data Euskadi initiative and publishing it as Linked Data.

    Abstract. This work describes our efforts towards making the website of our research group, namely MORElab, comply with the principles of Linked Data. As a first attempt, we have made the information related to our research publications available in RDF. Such data is published according to the Bibliographic and Dublin Core Ontologies and interlinked with instance data of the FOAF and DBLP vocabularies. Our main contribution has been to adapt the Joomla!
