November/December 2008: The Semantic Web Gang discusses Glue, and looks back at 2008
In the November/December edition of the Semantic Web Gang we discuss the recent launch of Glue from AdaptiveBlue, and look back at the Semantic Web highlights of 2008.
AdaptiveBlue’s Alex Iskold is a regular member of the Gang, and shares some of the rationale behind the approach adopted with Glue.
Listen, too, to hear Gang members’ perspectives on the events, trends and companies that excelled in 2008… and those with work still to do.
