Koven Smith talks about the Semantic Web and Museums
In our latest podcast I talk with Koven Smith of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. We talk about Koven’s work at the Met, and explore the ways in which the museum is applying Semantic Web techniques to the interpretation of its rich datasets.
