Thing 24: Search tools for locating podcasts

I used podcast.net to search for podcasts.....

The Talking with Talis podcast, "Fiona Bradley Talks with Talis about the Semantic Web and Libraries" was a mildly interesting one about a much more interesting subject, which I had only vaguely heard of.

"The semantic web," IUBW (if you believe Wikipedia) "is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web."

The podcast led to some rewarding surfing, such as Bret Taylor's blog, We Need a Wikipedia for Data (April 9, 2008)

Taylor's blog led me to the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network. In order to sign in for that, it had me join myOpenID.com, again which, IUBW, "is a shared identity service, which allows internet users to log on to many different web sites using a single digital identity, eliminating the need for a different user name and password for each site."
