Hal referred to a talk by Tim Berners-Lee on the semantic web. Here's
another one from the beginning of this year:

Fragmentation is always a danger, but weighed against this is the

It's encouraging that Oracle just joined rivals Microsoft and IBM (and many
other major software companies), backing the UDDI. It'll be extremely
interesting to see how XML and the web services built on top of this
develop. I already need to update my presentation, "Web Services:
Implications for Business Models" which you can find at:
www.manyworlds.com
I'd appreciate any critical feedback on that piece.
You can find plenty of other information on XML and the semantic web by
searching for "XML" at www.manyworlds.com
