Microsoft Media Manager

David Seth reports today on Micosoft's Interactive Media Manager, based on RDF and OWL, two key semantic web technologies.

This RDF model allows companies to add nuance and intelligence to media management beyond what is possible with traditional metadata.

While I am on media, I might as well mention, for those who don't allready know, that Joost, which I believe is somehow related to Skype, and that is working on Peer to Peer video, is also using RDF. Not sure how, but since Dan Brickley - one of the brains behind foaf - is working there, it is quite likely going to be very interesting.

You're right. Joost was founded by founders of Skype (and is also using a peer-to-peer network).

Note on comments:

I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
