LinkedData Planet: Sir Tim Berners-Lee and distinguished faculty taking us from linked documents to

K

Ken North

The concept of linked data is gaining mindshare with developers, users
and the more than 200 software companies developing semantic tools. A
community including architects, developers and web builders is advancing
the evolution of the World Wide Web from linked documents to a web of
linked data. We believe LinkedData Planet is a conference that will be
of great interest to that community of enterprise architects,
information
architects, developers, DBAs, venture capitalists and technical
managers.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the W3C, will deliver a keynote and a
distinguished faculty will deliver a content-rich technical program at
in New York City (June 17-18). Besides the keynotes, there will be a
Linked Data Workshop and a Power Panel. Gurus such as Jim Melton, the
SQL standard editor, and Dr. Ashok Malhotra, standards architect at
Oracle, will discuss exploiting SQL, XML, structured and unstructured
data.
