We’re absolutely delighted to announce that at the 6th International Semantic Web Conference and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC+ASWC 2007), held last week (11-15 November 2007) in Busan, Korea, Revyu.com was awarded first prize in the 2007 Semantic Web Challenge!

Quoting from challenge.semanticweb.org, “The Semantic Web Challenge offers participants the chance to show the best of the Semantic Web”. Challenge Co-Chair, Peter Mika added “this was by far the most competitive year, with the highest number of participants ever, and a significant improvement in the quality of the entrants“. Revyu was selected as the challenge winner from a record 23 entries of which 18 made the first round and five were shortlisted. The prize was awarded during the ISWC + ASWC 2007 closing ceremony, where delegates received a live Revyu demo.

This is great recognition of the contribution Revyu can make to a Web of Data and the hard work that has gone into the site, not least of which from contributors to the site. Thank you all! We’d also like to send our congratulations to the winners of second and third prizes, Potluck and the CHIP Demonstrator, and the runners-up GroupMe and iFanzy. Well done everyone!
