I was in Manchester yesterday, having been invited over by Paul Collins to speak at Vision+Media‘s final Transmissions workshop. The topic was ‘Towards a Web of Data,’ and the other speakers were Bill Roberts of Swirrl and Liz Turner of Iconomical.
Bill’s slides are here, and mine are embedded below.
Thanks to Paul for the invite, and to the audience for braving an intermittently (very) wet Manchester evening to spend a few hours discussing Linked Data, the Semantic Web, and related topics; it was fun.
