A few more pointers: 1. Deutschlandfunk (German public radio) featured GoodRelations in August 2010: • Article: http://www.dradio.de/dlf/sendungen/computer/1259543/ • MP3: http://ondemand-mp3.dradio.de/file/dradio/2010/08/28/dlf_20100828_1646_93131074.mp3 2. Paul Miller talked with Jamie Taylor (Metaweb/Freebase) and me on the impact and usage of GoodRelations in his podcast series: • http://cloudofdata.com/2010/02/a-podcast-conversation-about-goodrelations-with-martin-hepp-and-jamie-taylor/ 3. IT Conversations, the longest-running podcast on the planet, featured the GoodRelations vocabulary and its usage for future eCommerce: Jon Udell interviewed Kingsley Idehen on "RDFa and Structured Data": • Podcast: http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail4233.html • Related blog: http://blog.jonudell.net/2009/09/09/talking-with-kingsley-idehen-about-mastering-your-own-search-index/ Martin On 17.01.2011, at 10:33, Markus Krötzsch wrote: > On 16/01/2011 12:15, Sören Auer wrote: >> Dear Markus, >> >> First of all thanks for bringing this up - I think its really crucial >> for us as a research community to showcase what impact the results of >> our research can make in practice! >> >> Besides DBpedia (already frequently featured in public press, e.g. >> two >> days ago by famous German newspaper TAZ [1]), we are working on >> Catalogus Professorum (led by my colleague Thomas Riechert), which I >> think nicely demonstrates the usefulness of semantic technology to a >> wider public: > > <snip> > > Dear Sören, > > thanks for these pointers (has [1] appeared in the newspaper TAZ as > well, or just online?).
