Events and tutorials

As part of the Ontogenesis network we have delivered and developed a series of tutorials on OWL and ontology building:

1. We have continued our series of successful tutorials based around pizzas. this tutorial aims to familiairise attendees with the basics of OWL and to cover the major conceptual hurdles in the language [1].
2. We have also developed and delivered a new OWL tutorial that uses family history as its topic [2]. This tutorial teaches OWL to a far deeper level than the pizza tutorial.
