IBM - The Internet of Things

Apologies for the lack of content over the last month. I'm in the final month of lectures in college and I'm up the walls with assignments.

This is a nice video from IBM talking about how data can be used to improve our daily lives by using the internet as a kind of central nervous system for the planet. It's worth a watch. If you want to see more stuff like this visit IBM's A Smarter Planet blog.

Web 3.0

I came across a ZDNet blog post a couple of days ago that featured a nice video on Web 3.0. It's an interesting and concise explanation of how the agents might work and, at just under 4 minutes long, it's well worth a look.

Calais

I've been doing some research for a report I have to do on the semantic web and I came across this ZDNet blog post on how Oracle will be offering support for Thomson Reuter's Calais service. Calais is a service that generates semantic metadata. It looks interesting and the site is worth a visit.

This video gives a brief overview of the service.
