Following up from somewhat combatative article of yesterday (http://www.russet.org.uk/blog/2012/05/semantic-web-irony/), my colleagues Michel Dumontier and Bijan Parsia pointed out that my last post was technically wrong. Actually, Bijan said “you’re an idiot who can barely use a computer”. Still one of the reasons I publish my work and thoughts early in this journal is to get feedback about it, I can’t complain about this.
The file 978-3-642-30283-1_Book_PrintPDF.pdf is actually not just the table of contents as I had taken it to be, but all 900 pages of the proceedings. It isn’t hyperlinked, but you can search or jump to page with your PDF viewer to get to the relevant article. The files with the form eswc2012_submission_nnn.pdf are for the demonstrations and the posters.
My mistake. I was wrong. Somewhat.
Update
- Hyperlink to Bijan’s page corrected following his request.
- Addressed spelling mistake in latin, by moving to English

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why Michel’s name gets a hyperlink whilst my home page URL is name adjacent? I mean, aside from the not being able to work a computer thing, natch!
(To be fair, you had soon before that admitted that you slag off my ideas just because you hate me!)
(Plus, I don’t even make it onto your blog roll! PFFT!)
Of course, your confusion about that document just highlights the craptatsticness of those electronic proceedings. You saw individual files in some places, it’s natural to extrapolate. If there had been hyperlinks, then you would have realized that the thing you opened was the full proceedings, etc.

“Mea culpa”, not “Mea culpUa”. You can barely use latin ;-)
