Dr. John Breslin gave a presentation on creating social semantic information spaces at the TTI/ITAG Event on November 30, 2006. He discussed the state of the semantic web and the path ahead to social semantic information spaces, including moving from blogging to semantic blogging, wikis to semantic wikis, and semantics in digital libraries and community portals. The presentation aimed to realize the vision of the Memex and NLS systems by connecting the desktop, web, and social information spaces semantically.
