This is a preprint of the third, and I’m happy to say final, entry in my “Reinventing Academic Publishing” trilogy.  There is a lot more to be said on this topic, and I suspect I’ll be one of the people saying it, but for now it’s time for me to stop writing about it and […]

Here’s a pre-edited preprint of my editorial for the next issue of IEEE Intelligent Systems. I welcome your comments - Jim H.
=======================
Intelligent Readers,
While it is generally considered tacky to quote one’s self, recently I’ve been involved in several activities and discussions I’d like to share with you. These largely arose from a column […]

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. It’s great to see that there are large industrial […]

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. IMHO, the conference has been, yet again, a large success. The talks have been very interesting and when there are no […]

Following a few links from Planet RDF (thanks to Kingsley Idehen and to Henry Story) I got to Tim O’Reilly’s article “Freebase will Prove Addictive” (or as Henry referred to it “O’Reilley groks the Semantic Web.”) Reading the post I felt compelled to reply - rather than sending you to my response, I […]

Under the gun for my editorial in IEEE Intelligent Systems, I decided I would continue with the “dark side” theme, and see if I could state it coherently in a form that non-PlanetRDF AI folks might understand.  I’m not sure if I did, but here’s a preprint of what I submitted (sorry about the length […]

Since I hear rumors are flying, I thought I had better fess up - I did indeed give a talk entitled “The Dark Side of the Semantic Web” at Edinburgh last week (download the slides - pdf - from here). However, before you all start to beat me up - let me point out that […]

Perhaps Bijan and I would be better off doing this on a mailing list - but blog to blog is sort of fun (and the Owl 1.1 list has not yet migrated to a public list - I’ll be happy to move this to public-owl-dev@w3.org once people are looking there).  Basically, Bijan points to two […]

I was totally frustrated that I was unable to stay at ISWC this year -unfortunately politics and science often go hand and hand, and I found myself in the vortex (no, not those politics, but I must admit it’s the first time in a long time I’ve enjoyed watching election returns come in). […]

Alot has happened over the past two days here at ISWC2006. Here’s a short recap of some of the highlights.
Taowei gave his talk yesterday, and it went off very well; by far it was the best in the session…good job Taowei! The audience received it well and asked some interesting questions; it was nice to […]
