Coming out in tomorrow, August 11 Science Magazine, an article entitled “Creating a Science of the Web” by TimBL, Wendy Hall, Me, Nigel Shadbolt and Danny Weitzner.  Link should be up tomorrow, those looking for a preview, there’s a short summary (giving me too much of the credit) on the RPI web site.

I’ve also spent the week at AAAI, heard Tim’s talk and Peter Norvig’s question (Peter and I have known each other for more than 20 years now, he’s a good friend). Here’s some stuff people might be interested to know - Peter and Tim talked more after, Peter invited Tim to come visit Google […]

For a while now I’ve been noticing that although Danny Ayers’ cat has become a regular on Planet RDF
However, strangely there is no RDF meta-data about the cat. I had an opportunity to demo
Photostuff at a European Semantic Web summer school, and decided Danny’s cat should be the example. So now you can […]

I’ve been looking for a tee-shirt slogan for the Semantic Web - the title of this derives from somethign Keiron O’Hara wrote in an article we are working on - spun by me to resemble a more famous one… It’s not quite there yet, but I thought I would capture it here before I forgot, […]

It has now become official, as of January 1, 2007 (or thereabouts) I will be leaving Maryland and taking a position at RPI where I will be creating a new research center dedicated to a “web science” agenda (Stay tuned, Tim Berners-Lee, Wendy Hall, Nigel Shadbolt, Danny Weitzner and I have had a “perspectives” accepted […]

Sorry to be so far behind everyone else on blogging about the WW2006, but this has been my first chance to really sit down and write. Let me just begin by saying that I had a terrific time and learned a great deal more than I thought I would. My lack of technical […]

After last night’s “buffet” (which really means light snacking) at the Edinburgh Castle and a night of scripting, Chris and I are presenting “Tools for the Semantic Web” — Swoop (debugging/visualization) and PhotoStuff. Chris had been taking pictures around the conference for annotation. The conference’s wireless is… terrible (11b, and obviously the relay points are […]

Today’s opening panel had Tim, Jim, and two industry representatives. The focus is the next wave of the semantic web. Questions for the panelists range from the perspectives of the last few years to looking ahead of the future. The surprising thing of importance, according to Jim, is the speed of growth of the semantic […]

W00t! It’s sunny out today, though the weather forecast foretells rain and cloud. The main auditorium is opened an opening ceremony. A pair of bagpipte players and traditional dancers led the organizers and guests in. Wendy Hall and Sir TBL both gave short talks. The opening key note was given by David Brown, CEO of […]

So two days have past, so I thought I’d catch you all up to speed on whats been going on. First I’ll talk about the happenings two days ago, then talk about yesterday.
So, two days ago (5/23/06), the conference was officially open. The opening ceremony was actually quite fun…there were bag pipe players and traditional […]
