Semantic Interoperability and the Trees of Knowledge We All Take Care Of: A Dialogue With Pierre Lévy
Cyberia, as conceptualized by Escobar and lived by all of us is a magical place. It is the place I met Pierre Lévy anew (sic!) three times. "Hello Teodora, we follow each other on Twitter, I am happy to see you there!" was the first time I met Pierre in the KGC community (thanks Ellie and team
Linking up information to make the world a better knowledge space: A Dialogue with Ian Piper
Text and the Semantic Web have been part of enquiry for understanding human communication for quite a long time now. Questions about content, graphs, organisational change and the Yay! :) of the URI are always at the back of my mind when I explore how content on the Web is ideated, created and managed. And all
Our Private and Public Lives: An Allegory of Our Connection With Data
In 2015 sociologist and philosopher Zygmund Bauman gave a presentation called From Privacy to Publicity in which he talked about the importance of privacy and the concerns regarding the lack of it. Bauman highlighted the need for a personal time were we could be alone with ourselves, and allow things in our head to
The Data-Centric Future Is Here, It Is Just Not Evenly Distributed: A Dialogue with Alan Morrison
What is that thing that bridges together content, data and knowledge? Could it be that taking a data-centric approach towards managing company’s data has little to do with tools and technologies and a lot more to do with mindset?

Seeing Enterprise Content as Semantic Capital
In this blog, I want to invite you to an exploratory intellectual journey towards a deeper understanding of “content”. “holy mother of cheeses, the Internet is not made out of content.” Yes.

At the interstice of code, culture, and change: A dialogue with Anni Rowland-Campbell
It’s 11.01. I am half-way home, just finishing my morning walk. And I am one minute late for an online event called Brave Conversations.

Music, Taxonomies and What Defines a Sandwich: A Dialogue With Bob Kasenchak
Think cheeseburger. Now think rhythm. Now listen: “Cheeseburger, hot-dog, Cheeseburger, hot-dog”, this is how I once heard prof. Milcho Leviev explaining how he introduces people to the asymmetrical rhythms of Bulgarian folk music. [Check Maestro Leviev's Bulgarian Boogie] Fast forward to these when reading and thinking about knowledge, meaning and life brings me as much pleasure as

In a sense he has his potential to drive sales augmented - he will be moving faster, transmitting the "marketing message" to more people, with higher efficacy. And just as he gains speed to reach yet another door
The Web of People and Its Dialogic Potential: A Dialogue with prof. Michael Kent
Foraging the Web of science in my first PhD year, in-between somewhat monotonous papers and dry language, suddenly a “blinking” word-portal caught my attention and the tectonics of the world behind my eye moved. The word was “enthymematic”. Little I knew back then that it was a word that will slowly but steadily lead me in the
