20 Years Later, Tim Berners-Lee Wants to Reinvent Data

Time Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, has a new passion. His new mission is Linked Data. He wants people to post data on the internet in the same way and with the same enthusiasm that people post articles, documents and pictures. His assertion, and I agree, is that if people shared data the same way they share other information on the web, we'd be able to learn about and solve all sorts of problems we don't even recognize. Watch it and believe.  After all, the British Government recently appointed him as the person responsible for opening up England's data to the web.  Watch his TED talk below for a passionate and exciting presentation about the subject.
