A Map for the Semantic Web
Anonymous — February 16, 2009 - 7:45am
A very interesting Flickr image came across my desktop this morning. It's a cool visual posted by Steve Jurvetson showing many of the different parts of the semantic web. I missed it the first time around, but the tiny copyright statement at the bottom of the original size indicates Tim Berners-Lee as the IP holder. Should be especially interesting to Tolkien fans! 
If you're interested in learning more about the semantic web, this is an interesting place to start - especially if you are a visual thinker. Do some searching on the topics mapped out here - Vannevar Bush, Logic (First and Second order logic), protocols and markup languages, RDF, OWL, GRDDL - whatever strikes your fancy. Let me know what you think!
This map is by Tim Berners-Lee, not Jurvetson.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Steve Jurvetson actually created it, just uploaded it to Flickr.
Ah yes!

I took a much closer look at the fuzzy footnote text on the 'original size' posted by jurvetson to Flickr, and indeed there it is. It's jogging my memory too - I'm wondering if I'd simply forgotten about it. :)
