In our latest Talking with Talis podcast, I talk with Paul Gearon about RDF databases, his research interests in OWL, and some of his experiences in working with Semantic Web technologies outside the lab.

Paul is closely involved with the ongoing development of the Mulgara Semantic Store, and touches upon issues addressed in an earlier podcast with David Wood of Zepheira.
