In my latest podcast I talk with Ivan Herman, Semantic Web Activity Lead at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

We discuss W3C’s continued engagement with Semantic Web activity around the world, touch upon current activity to enhance existing specifications such as SPARQL, and consider the success of the Linked Data meme.

During the conversation, we refer to the following resources;

• Sir Tim Berners-Lee, my podcast with him, and his talk at TED earlier this year
