web 3.0
Helping people make the web work for them
Time to get the messaging on semantics clarified
Linked open data – the newspapers getting on board
Newspapers should look to publish data using RDF
Ontologies and the challenge to IT leaders
The recent Technology Forecast publication from PwC focused on semantic web and linked data. Interesting series of articles – and I like the concept of dealing with ‘messy data’. CEOs and other managers want to be able to merge internal ERP type data with external data. Also reminds readers that the I in CIO is [...]
University education in the age of web 2.0 and 3.0
Happiest days of my life. Very fortunate to have attended Trinity College Dublin in the early 80′s. Computer engineering – learning to program assembler for the Motorola 68000, learning fluid mechanics. Friends, fun, social development, cricket, rugby, chess, campus in the city centre. Developing wider interests. But what opportunities there are now for everyone in [...]
Semantics – for data and for documents
No doubt about it – linked data seems to be where it ia and will be for some time. CEOs traditionally have one eye on the external and one eye on the internal – relying on COOs, CFOs etc to drive the inside efficiently while they figure out the positioning, the alliances, the competitive advantage.

Excellent presentations by Johnny Parkes, Bill [...]
Distinguishing Web 3.0, Semantic web and Data Linking
I had commented some time ago on the differences/ advances between web 1.0, web 2.0 and web 3.0. Earlier this month Greg Boutin published an excellent series of three postings in which he has looked at web 3,0, semantinc web and data linking in consdierable detail – in an attempt to ensure that we have [...]
