Liveblog from the OU Vice-Chancellor’s speech to Council, 26 Sep 2008
Largish audience heading in - interesting to be watching from outside rather than the inside.
Introduction from the Pro-Chancellor, Chair of Council.

There is a KMi seminar on the topic of “Multimedia, eScience and the Semantic Web” being given by Suzanne Little at the KMi Podium on Wednesday the 30th of July from 11:00 - 11:45. You can also view the session abstract on the podium.

A few weeks ago, the Cohere sensemaking application, which lets you creat a relation between two ideas, each of which may have one or more resources associated with it, opened up its API.

I’ve been reading several articles recently abou the semantic web including one in last week’s Computing magazine. The article cited Tim Burners-Lee as espousing the benefits of the semantic web for the past decade and now it seems some progress is being made, albeit in small areas.
project that the two grad students I met up at UVic work for. I turned them on to the notion of the simple semantic web = -RDF. Interesting, specifically the 'Expert Reader' interface project - http://etcl-dev.uvic.ca/public/REKn/Site/Welcome.html
