BCS interview with Tim Berners-Lee

I enjoyed the following interview with Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. Some points from his interview:

  • Would you do anything different? I would have skipped the double slash in “http://”
  • On patents: “Often, the cases we’ve seen involving patents on Web technologies have been spurious at best.”
  • A Web year is 2.6 months
  • On the Semantic Web: “There should be an RDF schema combining latitude and longitude data with time – that would be useful at the very least for historical tracking.”

Source: Isn’t it semantic?
