the semantic web

One of the speakers on the most recent Geek Cruise talked a lot about the semantic web. This stuff looks cool. Imagine RSS on steroids. And flexible. And subclassable. And self-describing. And building on others' work, even commenting about others' work.

I've got to figure out a way to add meta-info to my massive column archive. That'd make it searchable with off-the-shelf tools.


Speaker?

Who was the speaker? I dunno if you got a chance to read Tim Berners-Lee's Weaving the Web. It's not really a technical book but partly a review about the birth of HTML/HTTP, and mostly a treatise on why the semantic web is cool. Did the speaker cover any real world projects that are using this technology?
