The Semantic Web today – An Interview with John Breslin

By admin ⋅ October 24, 2008 ⋅ 7 comments

Everyone assumes that the ’semantic web’ will mean we’ll have better search engines. In fact, Web 3.0 will do a lot more, and journalists and researchers should be ahead of the curve.
Not many people are as close to the heart of the Semantic Web as 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.
