Jim Hendler talks about the Semantic Web and Artificial Intelligence

In our latest podcast I talk with Jim Hendler, Tetherless World Senior Constellation Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. We discuss Jim’s early experience in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, before digging into some of his observations on competing interpretations of the Semantic Web and exploring the relevance of Semantic Web ideas to users of today’s Web 2.0 applications.
See this post on ZDNet’s blog, The Semantic Web, for more discussion.
