MiniBar Data about Data
This location is shown only to members
Hi all
this month we will focusing on Metadata - the data about data that let's us find content, contextualize it, stream it etc. To some its the holy grail of the the future interweb, to others its the boring grunt work behind the scenes making objects identifiable. Whatever the truth e-books, maps, location based services and many other apps rely on metadata opening up business opportunities, while presenting technical challenges. As part of an upcoming funding call on 'metadata' by the Technology Strategy Board, we will be hearing the details about it. The event is supported by the Creative Industries KTN, who are operating an ideas market place for people who want to work together in this area and beyond (check it out here).
Speakers:
Alex Stanhope - Technology Strategy Board
Julian Ranger - CEO of iBundle and DAD
Justin Spooner - Unthinkable Consulting
Sponsor: Creative Industries KTN
Partners: Microsoft BizSpark, SUN Startup Essentials, Skillsmatter
btw: MiniBar relies on sponsorship - so if you want to reach 3300+ of London's and beyond web entrepreneurs, developers and digital media specialists let us know at info at openbusiness.cc

Petercf: I'm guessing you'd get the same level of problem for other weekdays, and if this was done on Saturday, I (and probably many others) wouldn't be able to come! Friday isn't the best of days - I'd prefer Tuesdays personally - but it's workable.

Looking forward to the meeting tonight! I even have a special guest over from Germany with me this time! My work covers meta data so I hope this evening will be a productive one. See you there...

adiI really enjoyed Justin Spooner's speech. Some people think that technology is all there is. Technology is a tool. A fun one, but in the end it is just "the prop for the story". What is the story ? Is the story worth telling ? Does it have a heart ? How does it fit in the bigger picture? Will it inspire yourself and others ? Will it be able to go on, interact and evolve, almost like having a life of its own?

John CoreyIt was exactly what I was expecting. The speakers provided a range of views on metadata. Now I know who to follow up with so I can move things along.
