Berners-Lee Pushes Linked Data In MIT Course

ErMKutz writes "WWW inventor Tim Berners-Lee is championing linked data — the idea of assigning web addresses to individual pieces of data to enable more intelligent information searches — much like he did now-ubiquitous Internet standards such as HTML and HTTP. But the ethic hasn't quite taken off yet, so he and a group of Boston tech and entrepreneurial all-stars are launching an MIT class to teach students linked data mechanics and fast-track the technology to market. They're combining engineering and entrepreneurial education in the hopes of launching viable linked data businesses or open source code at the conclusion of the course." I hope this shows up on OpenCourseWare.

Dear Mr. Berners-Lee,

Please bring back the BLINK tag.

Holy cow, even when you guys invent both the standards you still can't use the one that everyone else uses?

"Mad Libs", but with data!

1. Create way to link data
2. Link as much data together as possible
3. ???
4. Profit!

All joking aside...

I think this is a [HTTP404] idea, with tons of [HTTP404]! And makes me think of [POETIC IMAGE NUMBER 37 NOT FOUND]...
