Mainstream technology blog Read/WriteWeb has published two stories featuring Talis in the past 24 hours. The first, by Read/WriteWeb Founder and Editor Richard MacManus, explores 10 Semantic Apps to Watch and the Talis Platform is highlighted as one of those.
The second piece, by Lead Author Marshall Kirkpatrick, looks at Semantic Technology in Action through the lens of an interview with Talis Technology Evangelist Paul Miller.
Bill Hutchison Talks with Talis about classification, Wordmap, and the role of the Semantic Web
27 November 2007
In our latest Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Wordmap founder Bill Hutchison. They discuss the relationship between folksonomy, taxonomy, thesaurus and ontology, and draw upon Bill's experience in the market to explore changes in the users and usage for these technologies.
Peter Bloodsworth Talks with Talis about multi-agent systems, Ontologies, and the Health-e-Child project
7 November 2007
In this Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Dr Peter Bloodsworth of the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. They discuss his research background, and the evolution of his interests from multi-agent systems toward the use of Semantic Web Ontologies.
In our latest Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Asemantics' CTO, Alberto Reggiori. They talk about the evolving semantic web, and the realities of maintaining a business delivering semantic solutions to enterprises outside the traditional Semantic Web community.
In this Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Daniel Lewis. They discuss some of his ideas about the 'Social Web', and the relationship between this and the ideas and technologies of the Semantic Web.
Kaila Colbin and Branton Kenton-Dau Talk with Talis about VortexDNA and the Mapping of Human Intention on the Web
26 November 2007
In this Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Kaila Colbin and Branton Kenton-Dau of VortexDNA. They discuss their ideas on mapping human intention, and the uses to which this information can be put in enriching users' experience online.
Talis CTO Ian Davis delivered the opening address to the UK Semantic Web Interest Group meeting today, giving participants an insight into the workings of the Talis Platform. The meeting, hosted by HP Labs in Bristol, sees practitioners from across the UK's Semantic Web community hearing presentations on some of the innovative ways in which semantic technologies are being deployed by organisations such as the BBC and Ordnance Survey, as well as gaining insight into the latest research from UK universities. The packed programme clearly demonstrates the vibrancy and diversity of semantic web developments in the UK and elsewhere.
Ian's presentation included an overview of the technological underpinnings to the Talis Platform, and discussion of the design decisions influencing the way in which it is developing. He concluded by showing examples of the applications that benefit from being built upon the Talis Platform, including Talis' own community information product, Talis Engage.

In this latest Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Brigham Young Ph.D candidate and active blogger, Yihong Ding. In their wide-ranging conversation, we talk about Yihong's Ph.D research and explore some of his ideas about ways in which the Web's evolution toward semantic technologies may be compared to the development of children.
Talis congratulates Tom Heath and Enrico Motta of the Knowledge Media Institute in winning the Semantic Web Challenge at the 6th International Semantic Web Conference running this week in Busan, Korea.
Their entry, Revyu.com, is a reviewing and rating web site that transparently converts content added by people into machine-readable RDF metadata for the Semantic Web. The application is designed to minimize the burden on users by reusing other Semantic Web data sources and inferring structured metadata rather than forcing its entry.
The Semantic Web Challenge is an annual competition that promotes innovation in the Semantic Web. This year's theme was to demonstrate the benefits of semantic technologies by developing integrated, easy to use applications that can provide new levels of Web functionality for end users on the Web, or within enterprise settings, beyond what is possible with conventional Web technologies alone.
Enrico Motta is the Professor of Knowledge Technologies at the Knowledge Media Institute, part of The Open University, with a research interest in Semantic Web technologies and services.
Tom Heath is completing his PhD research focused on using the Semantic Web to support recommendation-seeking in social networks. Tom will be joining Talis' Platform division in January 2008 where he will be leading research into enhanced relevancy and recommendation platform services.
