The Final KiWi Review Meeting
The Final KiWi Review Meeting took place in Luxemburg. In the one-day-meeting, KiWi was evaluated by the European Commission about the project achievements.
Sebastian started the meeting making a budget overview of KiWi. In the following, he showed a demo of the system. In a sequence I presented our ongoing work on enhanced tag clouds for content finding in KiWi. Karsten Jan (AAU), Daniel Grolin (Logica) and Peter Reiser (Oracle) presented the KiWi use cases. John Pereira (Salzburg Research) showed the dissemination activities of KiWi in last months. Sebastian closed down the presentations by outlining the main achievements, lessons learned, issues and looking ahead of the project.
After a short-break, the European Commission signalized that KiWi was successfully approved. Personalization was noticed by its improvement since the review.
Congratulations to all involved.

. In the first day of meeting, Sebastian showed a demo of KiWi system with the new interface and made an overview of the workplan for the next months. In the second day, the enabling technologies presented a research summary of their work and last developments. In particular, we presented our research results plus the new personalization features including the user interface to the reasoning component, a configuration page where users can customize their UI preferences and the tag clustering menu.

In the third day, we discussed the planning for the KiWi handbook that eventually will be published at KiWi Confluence Web page.
