Finally a way to understand what ‘the semantic web’ means

If you’ve tried to understand what the semantic web means – sometimes referred to as Web 3.0 – and haven’t got very far, this video will help.

The documentary-style video – surely as good as anything you might see on TV – created by journalism/psychology graduate Kate Ray includes insights from some big names in the web world including Tim Berners-Lee, David Weinberger and Clay Shirky.

It runs over 14 minutes but I found it highly compelling viewing. It’s worth the time.

  26. it certainly is. It's remarkable to think of the sheer volume of pages on the internet now and anything that can help us organise the content is good in my eyes.
