Semantic Web Gang: Introductory Episode
We’re pleased to announce a new monthly feature on ReadWriteTalk: The Semantic Web Gang. We’ll be syndicating every episode as part of ReadWriteTalk’s content.
The Semantic Web Gang is hosted by Paul Miller of Talis and features a number of thought leaders in the semantic web space, including:
- Alex Iskold of AdaptiveBlue & ReadWriteWeb fame
- Greg Boutin
- Mills Davis of Project 10X
- Tom Heath of Talis
- Daniel Lewis of OpenLink
- Thomas Tague of Reuters
The Semantic Web is a trend we’ve covered regularly on ReadWriteWeb and I’m very excited to be syndicating this as part of ReadWriteTalk’s regular content.
On this month’s episode, the group debates the readiness of the semantic web. For more details you can visit the show’s notes.

My own interest is to develop Semantic Web applications for e-commerce. This is area in high demand and is an extenion of linking like products. It is really about labelling a product with attributes. I sell bathrooms and there are about 1 million parts for sale, and with spare parts that goes into tens of millions.
A common user comment is “what is similar to this product?” I am trying to get that question answered using an algorithm. The numbers of parts, frequency of changes to product lines, and complexity of the lines makes this a hard problem to solve.
I am interested to receive any tutorial links for information resources for RDF and the Semantic Web. My own system is written in C# and everything is encapsulated.
Are there any actual IDE’s supporting RDF, OWL, or other Semantic Web technologies?
