Club Linux Coffs Harbour

This is not particularly GNU/Linux related - indeed it's operating system agnostic by definition - but something I mentioned in relation to a discussion about web services at yesterday's meeting.  Tim Berners-Lee gave this talk at Oxford University earlier this month, about the future of the Web, with particular reference to a project he's been pushing for some years now, the Semantic Web.

I must admit to being a bit slow on the uptake, so it wasn't until listening to this lecture that the super-cranial lightbulb came on and I "got" the Semantic Web.  I am now a true believer, and intend to drone on about it at length at every possible opportunity. The lecture is available in a number of (sadly proprietary) video formats and Ogg Vorbis audio.  I would advise watching the video while referring to the accompanying slides, but you should be able to get the gist with the Ogg audio.
