The course took place 27 to 30 July 2008, and Miguel-Angel gave a talk on “archetypes, ontologies and inference”. The audience was half computer scientists, half from the medical sciences (and something similar happened with the backgrounds of the speakers), so it was a real pluri-disciplinary event.
The summer course was held at the facilities owned by the Universidad Complutense at the beautiful location of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, UNESCO World Heritage site.

Miguel-Angel gave a talk on “Semantic cultural spaces in context” at Tineo last friday. It was as part of a summer course organized by Andrés Sampedro (University of Oviedo). Tineo is a small and beautiful town in Asturias. The talk was about the possibilities ontologies open for crafting Web systems that help informed tourist to plan their journey in specific culturally-bound geographical areas.
After the course, Miguel-Angel, Andrés and Raquel Amaya (professor in the area of Educational Sciences at the University of Oviedo) were visiting the small town of Tuña, near Tineo. Andrés is involved in a project to restorate an old, traditional house for creating a small hotel in it. The Tuña valley is really worth seeing, and we really look forward to going there for holidays!
