Toward EventWeb

This issue´s article is based on Ramesh Jain´s keynote lecture from the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications - one of the premier conferences in the field. We also include the PowerPoint presentation of his lecture (cms://dsonline/2007/09/lecture.pdf). Jain summarizes his vision of EventWeb, which builds on World Wide Web technology to realize a web of temporally related events. Informational attributes such as experiential data in the form of audio, images, and video can be associated with the events in an event web. EventWeb provides high-level mechanisms for event aggregation, search, and presentation.
