International seminar on Big Data

Vestforsk arranges the fifth seminar on ISO 15926 and Semantic Technologies in Sogndal these days. Invited researchers and practitioners in the field meet to present and discuss different issues under this year's topic Big Data. ISO 15926 is an ISO standard for semantic information modelling in oil and gas.

With this seminar series we aim to strike a good balance between high quality presentations and a good arena for making social contacts. The social activities include guided tours in the area as well as dinners at special restaurants. The high number of returning guests tells us that we hav succeeded in striking the right balance. Dr. Terje Aaberge has been responsible for arranging the seminars these five years.

GDF Suez Norway and the Norwegian Research Council are the main sponsors of the seminar. Presentations from this year's program will be linked to the program details as soon as they are available.
