Semantic Web sets conference data free?: Conferences can be useful for bringing a group of 'interesting' individuals together in one place for a few days, and giving them time and space to focus on a particular set of issues without the usual distractions of the working day.

Semantic Web enables innovative steps at Reuters: Global news agency Reuters is one of those venerable organisations that it's hard not to respect.
