Dear speaker at the “ISWC 2008” (October 26-30, Karlsruhe, Germany), We are happy to inform you that selected talks/presentations from the conference will be recorded and published on the largest educational video repository in the EU (http://videolectures.net/). The purpose of Videolectures.net is providing free and open access to high quality video lectures presented by distinguished scholars and scientists from all over the world. The portal is becoming a major reference video training repository and dissemination channel for academic researchers and is operating under the Creative Commons Copyright license. Attached to this email you will find a »Permission and release form«. If you agree with being recorded we ask you to send us the signed and scanned form back to our operations secretary Monika Kropej at monika.kropej@ijs.si . At the event you will be approached by one of our crew member and you will be given a small lapel microphone before the beginning of the presentation in order to ensure the maximum audio quality needed to satisfy the standards provided by Videolectures.Net. Consider that crew members will also ask for your presentations/slides. After the editing the videos will be synchronized with the matching presentations (.ppt, .pdf), (example: http://videolectures.net/kdd07_fayyad_dms/ ) and published on the portal. If you do not wish your talk to be filmed or published without your prior approval, please inform us.
