Web 3.0 at JavaOne and Jazoon
JavaOne will finally present a session on the Semantic Web. This is an opportunity to speak to some of the millions of Java programmers, who in my opinion will find it a lot easier to understand this than xml people have. RDF is a graph of resources and Java a graph of objects. Java developers are confident with UML diagrams and abstractions. The tools are there. It's just a matter of seeing what can be done.
Tim Boudreau helped get me enthusiastic about presenting something at JavaOne, and so we will be presenting together a session currently entitled Web 3.0: this is the Semantic Web. I only have two more weeks to prepare the slides for JavaOne, which won't be enough to get all the demos I would like to do ready. Luckily the Birds of a Feather session, which this will be part of, has a lot more flexible timetable I am told, and some changes may be possible even quite late.
I will be giving the same talk, probably improved by then, at Jazoon a month later.
So there is a lot of work on the table, and I should probably seriously reduce my blogging contributions if I am going to get all this done!

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.
