Semantic Technologies Conference

I find myself on a five hour flight reflecting on the Semantic Technologies Conference held in San Jose, CA. Clearly, I have seen a glimpse of the future where semantics drive business value and not just the core data. Like the early views of web technology, there doesn’t seem to be many true business cases for deploying semantic applications. The key user is still government agencies but other companies seem to be starting the process of technology review. Based on what I heard, the technology and conference has made great strides over the past year. If the next 12 months produce the same jump in maturity, we should see much more in the business value.
