June 2008: The Semantic Web Gang discuss Semantic Web Conferences aimed at business people
In June’s edition of the Semantic Web Gang, regular members discuss their impressions of two recent conferences that set out to explore semantic technologies in the context of business applications.
The Semantic Technology Conference was held in San Jose in May 2008, and the Linked Data Planet Conference in New York City in June, finishing shortly before this show was recorded.
At around 28 minutes into the call, discussion turns to the environmental impact and other costs associated with events like these, and the Gang talk about where the value in these events really lies.
The call closes with discussion of news from Hakia, which had just announced the imminent availability of a new API.
Gang regular Tom Heath was unavailable for this call, and Talis CTO Ian Davis participated on his behalf.
During the conversation, we refer to the following resources;
- Build Your Own Semantic Search Engine With Hakia’s APIs on TechCrunch
- Hakia
- Linked Data Planet, New York City
- Semantic Technology Conference, San Jose
This conversation was recorded on Friday 20 June, 2008.
