I’m currently attending the Semantic Technologies Conference and thought I’d share some of my experiences. The conference has been quite interesting, as it has provided a point of view which I do not get large exposure to…specifically what’s happening in industry in the Semantic Web space.

Well I’ve been attending the WWW 2007 conference the past week; I do not blog that often, but I figured that since I’ve travelled all this way, I should share some of my experiences.
