Shrinking the Meaningless Web: Semantic Technologies for 2007 January 10, 2007

The semantic web has always been about delivering more knowledge, not more information. While some proponents are fighting standards wars, others are just getting on with new applications.

Peter Rip, a General Partner at Crosslink Capital, will share his view on investing in the emerging semantic web. Peter brings over 25 years of experience as a successful entrepreneur, venture investor, and institutional investor. He has focused exclusively on early stage technology companies.

Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar Networks, will talk about commercial opportunities. Nova Spivack is a technology visionary and entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience in pioneering ventures.

Dr. Giovanni Tummarello, Chief Architect for Dbin & CEO, Sensible Logic, will present his open source project that applies semantic web technologies to community building. DBin is the first, general purpose, complete Semantic Web Application and it has been a source of innovative ideas and concepts.

After their short presentations, the panel will take on your questions.
