Google Buys Freebase - This is Huge

Google Buys Freebase – This is Huge

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 16, 2010

Today, Google shocked the pundit world by announcing that they have bought Metaweb, the company behind one of the largest structured database Freebase.  Over time we’ve improved search by deepening our understanding of queries and web pages. The web isn’t merely words—it’s information about things in the real world, and understanding the relationships between real-world […]

A tale of two conferences

A tale of two conferences

By Paul Miller on July 7, 2010

A somewhat hectic June concluded with my second trip of the month to California. Whilst the first excursion led to Santa Clara and an interesting insight into attempts by Hitachi Data Systems to reinvent its relationship with the wider community, the second journey took me to San Francisco and a pair of events that lie […]

A podcast conversation about GoodRelations, with Martin Hepp and Jamie Taylor

A podcast conversation about GoodRelations, with Martin Hepp and Jamie Taylor

By Paul Miller on February 22, 2010

I recorded my latest Semantic Web-ish podcast last week, talking with Martin Hepp in Germany and Jamie Taylor in California. Our topic was GoodRelations, an ontology/vocabulary designed to enhance the clarity of descriptions of businesses and their products on the Web. As the GoodRelations site describes, “GoodRelations is a language that can be used to describe very […]

Siri brings their Virtual Personal Assistant’s smarts to the iPhone

Siri brings their Virtual Personal Assistant’s smarts to the iPhone

By Paul Miller on February 5, 2010

Siri provoked a flurry of interest last summer, and presumably not just because CTO Tom Gruber took part in one of my podcasts. With their genesis inside a big DARPA-funded Artificial Intelligence project, their talk of emergent Virtual Personal Assistants and their slick iPhone-powered demonstrations, the company ticked more than enough of the right boxes […]

I spoke with Will Hunsinger, CEO of Evri, yesterday and the result has just been released as a podcast. Backed by Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital, Seattle-based Evri is using semantic technologies to “change the way consumers discover and engage with content on the Web.” Via the site at evri.com, users are able to explore news-like […]

DRAFT report explores Linked Data potential in UK Universities

By Paul Miller on December 21, 2009

One of the projects I’ve been working on recently is for the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) here in the UK. Like the BBC, the UK Government and others, they’re interested in the opportunities created by adoption of Linked Data, and will be issuing a call to fund some projects in the space early next […]

A podcast with Flip Kromer of InfoChimps… and the end of an era

By Paul Miller on December 17, 2009

I’ve been following InfoChimps for some time, intrigued by their aspiration to build a marketplace for data that combines the free with the paid. Thanks to the team at Jones-Dilworth (honestly, does Josh have any clients that aren’t interesting?) I managed to get some time with founder Philip (Flip) Kromer and Joseph Kelly whilst over […]

Licensing of Linked Data

Licensing of Linked Data

By Paul Miller on October 29, 2009

As part of a workshop at this year’s International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC), former colleague Leigh Dodds prepared an interesting diagram on the ways in which resources comprising the Linked Data Cloud are currently licensed. For various reasons, I was unable to make it to Virginia for the event, but a scan through the presentations […]

CommonTag - A Long Overdue Effort

CommonTag – A Long Overdue Effort

By Krishnan Subramanian on June 11, 2009

When I started tagging in its early days, I was wondering about the silos it will end up creating due to the lack of any standardized approach to tagging. But, I also realized that tagging, however chaotic it could be, is better than not having one. The efforts on the Semantic Web front gave me […]

Data Standards for Web Applications

Data Standards for Web Applications

By Guest Authors on March 3, 2009

While many despise WMA, DOC, MP3 and other proprietary formats the discussions about data formats used by web applications have been surprisingly silent. It is true that this is mainly because a lot of web applications offer XML export or offer an API for exporting data to other services. But as data formats in the […]

The evolution of an all encompassing world of cloud

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 15, 2008

I have been thinking about this topic for quite some time. I never found time to sit and put together my thoughts in a coherent fashion. It is about Semantic Web and how it will blend into the current cloud computing paradigm. In fact, I even have a provocative title for my future post. I […]
