Semantic Web Birds of a Feather at JavaOne 2007
Nova Spivack, Lew Tucker, and Tim Boudreau joined me today in a panel discussion on the Semantic Web at Java One. Given that it was at 8pm and that we were competing with a huge party downstairs with free drinks, with robots fighting each other, with live bands, and numerous other private pub parties, the turnout of over 250 participants was quite extraordinary [1]. There was a huge amount of material to cover, and we managed to save 13 minutes at the end for questions. The line of questioners was very long and I think most were answered to the satisfaction of the questioners. It was really great having Nova and Lew over. They brought a lot of experience to the discussion, which I hope gave everyone a feel for the richness of what is going on in this area.
Since many people asked for the presentation it is available here.
[1] It was quite difficult to tell from the stage how many people were in the room, but a good one third of the 1200 room was full . 580 people had registered for the talk.

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.
