In August’s edition of the Semantic Web Gang, guests Peter Mika and Giovanni Tummarello join the regular members to discuss search and the Semantic Web. With much excitement around the topic and cutting edge developments such as SearchMonkey and Sindice there are many issues for the gang to discuss. The need to clearly communicate the benefits of any new technology surfaces as a strong theme throughout the discussions, as does the need to improve the range and quality of vocabularies for describing data on the Semantic Web.
Gang regular Alex Iskold was unavailable for this call. Standing in for regular chair Paul Miller was gang member Tom Heath.
