Hackaton & related activities

The OntologySummit2014 Hackathon & related activities are intended to have summit participants collaborate intensively to create something 'real' and 'useful' (relevant to this OntologySummit theme), to produce something that can be demonstrated during the face-to-face Symposium (Apr 28 & 29, 2014), and possibly something that will spin-off into meaningful projects that can be continued after this Ontology Summit is over.
