The Semantic Web today – An Interview with John Breslin

John is the founder of the Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) project, a member of the W3C Advisory Committee, lecturer at the National University of Ireland and an associate researcher on the semantic web at the Digital Research Institute in Galway.

I caught up with John recently for this analysis of the semantic web and journalism published by journalism.co.uk. John’s points were so interesting that Insite has brought you the full interview.
