I presented this talk at BarCamp Ireland 3 on April 21, 2007.

There was a lot of interest and we had to move to a bigger room to accomodate all the audience (thanks to Ryan Alexander for arranging the bigger room).

PowerPoint file: "SIOC - Semantic Web for Social Media Sites" (6 Mb, PPT)
If you watch the presentation on SlideShare the hyperlinks should work as well.

Olivier Ansaldi (in comments to an earlier post):

"I really enjoyed your talk (just in case you remember, I asked you a question about microformats), it helped me get a better understanding of the semantic web. I feel more inclined to start digging in the literature that I felt before!"

If you were at the presentation and have some questions about it, please ask. Literature is one place to start, but at the same time you can try to work with the Semantic Web and RDF, and judge for yourself when and where to apply it.

There is also XBL and XPCOM for more demanding applications. It is interesting that this framework is one of first widespread uses of RDF (even though you might not be aware that it has RDF under the hood).
