[tlug] Presentation about the Semantic Web

[Nicolas Raoul <nicolas.raoul.lists@example.com>]

Dear Tokyo Linux Users Group members,

I enjoy the busy and passionate atmosphere of the meetings and
nomikais of this group, so I'd like to participate more : I am willing
to do a presentation. Is any timeslot available during one of the next
meetings ?

My presentation would be about the Semantic Web (aka Web of Data, aka Web 3.0):
- Basic idea
- Technical basics through an example
- Benefits in terms of data openness
- Open Source implementations (if time allows)
- Discussion

I started worked with those things in 2007 when designing the
next-generation archival system of the French National Library, which
holds 13 million books and wanted to expose them in the Semantic Web.
I am now studying Japanese and working on HTML5 at W3C (World Wide Web
Consortium) at Keio University. There is a lot to say about the
Semantic Web, but I can limit my presentation to anything between ten
minutes and one hour in order to fit the meeting's schedule.

Cheers,
Nicolas Raoul.
