conference update: i will be attending semtech 2011 and speaking on a future of media panel - the new content ecosystem... 

i talk to folks about semantic technologies and the media industry all the time (passionately) so i thought it best to create a simple page to point folks to instead of doing one off emails...

that is most likely why you reached this page so welcome - you'll find links to decks, slides, podcasts & standards here :)

i spoke at media bistro's fall 2010 semantic web summit - the deck i presented is on slideshare - semtech deck - it contains my pov on semantic technologies: why the media industry needs to engage, specifically because of the context of content that it will expose which will ultimately increase the visibility of content to search & social platforms, improve advertising performance and help meet the velocity of content requests that audiences demand.

i've started to use a very simple value proposition slide as well which is here - semtech slide - i try to illustrate the relationship between content production, search (social) discovery and advertising platforms - adding context via semantic mechanisms should improve seo, increase cpm and better define sentiment for advertisers.

i participated in the april 2011 episode of the semantic link podcast, speaking further on semtech & media - semtech podcast (my part starts at 36:23 but the entire podcast is informative) - plus going into the iptc rnews pending standard (with evan from ny times) which i'm helping to review...

i was interviewed on beet.tv regarding rnews in may, 2011...

a great semantic technology resource is the web standards body w3c.org - try their rdfa primer for starters...

i attended the iptc/rnews overview at the ny times on april 21, 2011 - the video & presentations are here...

i talk at public semtech events but i also do some private speaking engagements for media teams on this topic, so far mostly in the northeast - ping me if you're interested...

my about.me page contains my online footprint...
