Description: The goal of
Microsoft code-name "Astoria" is to enable applications to expose data
as a data service that can be consumed by web clients within a
corporate network and across the internet. The Semantic Web brings to
the Web the idea of having data defined and linked in a way that it can
be used for more effective discovery, automation, integration, and
reuse across various applications. Astoria applications are reachable
over HTTP, and URIs are used to identify the various pieces of
information available through the service. Chris will show how the
Semantic Web can bring new opportunities to your business and/or
clients using new technologies like the Astoria Project.
