In our latest podcast I talk with Dame Wendy Hall, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton and a founding Director of the Web Science Research Initiative.

We discuss the Semantic Web, the notion of Web Science, and opportunities to bring groups outside Computer Science together in considering the changes being wrought by our growing dependence upon the Web.

During the conversation, we refer to the following resources;

• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
• Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
• MIT
• Mosaic
• Royal Academy of Engineering
• University of Southampton
• Web Science Research Initiative
• World Wide Web Conference, 1994
• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

This conversation was recorded on Friday 27 February, 2009.
