This was a great meet-up. It totally changed the focus of my project to use instead a triple-store RDF database and to learn more about and use existing ontologies. Thank you Franz, Inc. for a great presentation. I look ahead to hearing many, many more like this.

Excellent basic intro to semantic technology. Appreciate that it also covered several intermediate-level issues.
