The Chicago Semantic Web & Linked Data November Meetup

This month the talk will be given by one of our members Marc Temkin. Description Data Mining "Alchemey" on free text in databases. Text can be freed from non-semantic memo fields into useful data with the help of skillful use of modern languages and frameworks. Marc Temkin will give an overview of how he "freed" classical music data regarding composers and artists from the human readable only to the machine comprehensible. Speaker Bio Marc Temkin teaches in the Interactive Arts & Media Department at Columbia College, instructs professionals in C# and .NET at TechNexus, and has spoken at the Chicago Code Camp on data visualization using WPF and .NET. Marc has been an independent and contract programmer working for Argonne National Laboratory, Harris Bank, ACH integration projects with Chase, hospitals, banking units of non-profits and Network Chicago (PBS, WFMT/WTTW). We are also scheduling some time for people to meet and talk. Food and drinks will be provided, however it would be appreciated if you can chip in $5 to help cover our costs.
