Intelligent Agents and the Semantic Web

One of my (independent) articles has been published as a feature article on the IBM developerWorks website. It is “Intelligent Agents and the Semantic Web“. Not only that, but they also published a podcast episode with me. Have a read, the examples are in Java, but all the theory applies to any programming language and agent library.

What? “Semantic” Web, “Linked” Data and Web “3.0″? What are they?!!!?

Today (Tuesday 28th October 2008), I gave a seminar/discussion of the new web-based buzzwords, and explained that terms like Semantic Web, Linked Data and Web 3.0 aren’t marketing nonsense but very well defined techniques and technologies. The seminar went really well, and the ideas were well received.

In fact, you can have a look at the “iPaper” version of the slides , thanks to my academia.edu account.
