Well, shameless plug ahead, but I've heard this before ("You know, I slept
through graph theory in comp sci, and I don't know why I should care about
graphs on the Web).
I took that as a direct challenge, and I think I have a solution for my
introduction to RDF at XML/Web Services one in San Jose this June (somewhat
craftily titled):
http://www.xmlconference.com/sanjose/speakers2.asp?faculty_code=639
I won't have as much time for it, but I'll have a dry run for the approach at
XML Europe
http://www.xmleurope.com/ (schedule not posted yet)
I'll have slides up on my Web pages afterwards, but they'll be static, and
won't carry the same punch.
Let's see if we can't flavor this tofu. 8-)
