I just came across an overview about the SWAD-Europe by Dan Brickley, Libby Miller and Kate Sharp.

“Amongst its many themes, SWAD-Europe provided detailed answers to developer questions about RDF query and storage (analysis of scalability issues; query languages; APIs), and human-oriented classification (SKOS for thesauri, bookmark sharing etc.; semantic blogging). The project’s final workshop was on the theme of FOAF, Social Networking and the Semantic Web, and illustrated some of the strengths of the project, combining presentations from academic, commercial and opensource perspectives with active collaborative work on tools and applications.”

The project focus on practical issues for supporting collaborative work so as to incent human users and developers to adopt the concept and practice of the semantic web.

Then I jumped into the Semantic Web Best Practice working group and found an collection of interesting tutorials at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/Tutorials.
