In my latest podcast I talk with Thanassis Tiropanis of the Learning Societies Lab at the University of Southampton.

We discuss the findings of the recent JISC-funded project, SemTech, which set out to

“identify and quantify the benefits of semantic technologies and outline a roadmap for their adoption in the context of [Further and Higher] education, informal learning and exploratory learning.”

We conclude by looking ahead to the SemHE workshop in Nice on 30 September.

During the conversation, we refer to the following resources;

• Mark Birbeck podcast, discussing RDFa in Government
• CETIS
• CETIS Semantic Technologies Working Group
• DSpace
• EC-TEL conference
• Ensemble
• ePrints
• EPSRC

• Learning Societies Lab, University of Southampton
• SemHE workshop

This conversation was recorded on Friday 21 August 2009.
