Data, data everywhere...hows it going to be all managed?

The possible potential for Semantic Web technologies managing all this information is massive...The Semantic Web is a set of related technologies which will make it easier to find and share information online.

DERI team member Sebastian Kruks' Jerome DL got a good reception at the UK Museums and Semantic Web meeting recently.

From Jeremys blog on the Event:

"JEROME! Wow, fantastic, and also very encouraging in that it offers an example of the merging of what we’ve started to refer to as “SW” and “sw”. By mapping microformats, UGC, profile information, FOAF etc onto RDF via graphs (I think?!?), great semantic power is extracted from diverse material. I’ve banged on about finding a path to SW that allows museums to take lots of small steps in that direction with a pay-off at each one, and JEROME lets me see a little more how this might work. Thank you, Sebastian Kruk and his gang."
