Several people have asked me about linked data and the semantic web – given our recent call for interest in an upcoming Government 2010 event focusing on open data, linked data and government apps. 

In this interview with Sir Tim Berners Lee (from the BCS web site) Sir Tim talks about HTML, linked data, semantic web, video embedding – and lots of interesting stuff.

Some rather silly questions for Sir Tim via Twitter as well.  Video below the fold.

As well as being Professor at MIT and Southampton Universities, Sir Tim is also heavily involved with a number of organisations including the World Wide Web Consortium of which he is a director, the Web Science Trust, and the World Wide Web Foundation.
