Keynote addresses accompanied by overviews of semantic projects and groups; what they have to offer and give. The idea was to inform, entice and seek cooperation and interest in parallel sessions from which delegates could pick and choose from during the second core day. Presentations included keynotes, high-level sessions from sponsoring projects, users, Call 5 EU units, the EU's Semantic Interoperability Centre (SEMIC.EU) as well as the Dieter "Fensel Semantic Frenzy".

In addition to presentations, the EU Software and Services Unit, which runs Objective 1.2 which has a semantic component in, held tête-à-tête "speed assessment" sessions during the day to informally examine Call 5 proposal ideas.

A pick and mix of some of the subjects from day one and new ones as well. These were provided in the form of more in-depth parallel sessions, where longer and more detailed workshops/open group-meetings occurred. These included demonstrations, workshops and roundtables on particular sub-themes.

Day Two also carried on with presentations from other related activities and initiatives and also saw an academic strand.
