Thanks for the parting gift...

, ,

It is with regret that I say good luck to Kjetil in his new job, and that I am grateful for the work he has done at Opera over the last couple of years. May our paths cross again.

As a sort of delayed good-bye present, the SIOC submission that he worked on, along with people from other companies and organisations, has been published by W3C, along with some interesting comments on SIOC by Ivan Herman.

People would be aware that we already have some of this infrastructure in place. Unfortunately with Kjetil moving on, I suspect our progress will slow down for a while. He is a hard man to replace. But any comments or feedback on what we have done right, and where we should be looking to go now, is welcome and will be taken into account as we carry on...

Semantic Web programmers to come together

, , ,

The Semantic Web Education and Outreach Interest Group has published a small questionnaire with the intent of gather programmers around a few practical ideas, to create some applications that will make a real difference in people's lives.

The Semantic Web community has quite a few good programmers, and many have produced some cool demos of the technology. Also, many have been working on really big and advanced projects for years, and it is just starting to bear fruit. There has, however, been few times where we have gotten together with the goal of producing something useable quickly.

I wrote this questionnaire as a beginning to correcting the situation, as I believe it is important for the acceptance of the Semantic Web. My own, little pet proposal is also to use FOAF networks to ensure that emails from your friends will reach you even with aggressive spam filtering on. So make sure you continue to build those friend networks here on the Opera Community, it may help you in fighting spam soon!
