Lecture - Towards the Semantic Web: the Return of the Link

by Professor Wendy Hall CBE FREng, Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton

Monday, 6 March 2006 at 5.30 pm
22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ

Long before the Web existed hypertext visionaries foresaw a richly inter-linked global information network. The Web provided the infrastructure to enable those ideas to become reality but is strangely devoid of links. The development of the Semantic Web promises to take us much closer to achieving the original vision. This talk will consider the missing links in today’s Web environments and look forward to a richly linked future as the Semantic Web evolves.
