Metaphors To Think Knowledge Graphs By
Knowledge graphs deserve more than just being thought of as IT & DevOps toys. In this piece I explore them as socio-technical phenomena that help us set the stage for new ways of navigating the endless universe of meanings. These days I am kind of tired to think about knowledge graphs as technical creations only. I
The Web I Want: Words, Links and Human Relationships
In this post I explore content writing, SEO and digital marketing from the perspective of #thewebwewant and the vantage point the Semantic Web gives us. The Web is a spectacular place, created out of words, links and human relationships. The deeper we can look into how they work together, the richer the digital identities we weave will
From Speaking Into The Air To Making Products First Class Citizens With GS1 Digital Link: A Dialogue with Phil Archer
“Briefly, technologies such as the telegraph and radio refitted the old term “communication”, once used for any kind of physical transfer or transmission, into a new kind of quasi-physical connection across the obstacles of time and space. Thanks to electricity, communication could now take place regardless of impediments such as distance or embodiment.” p. 5. In: Speaking
How schema.org is used by S&P 500 ESG companies to build dialogic relationships on the Web
This is a short post with embedded summarized research results from my PHD Thesis. I presented the results at The Knowledge Graph Conference 2023 in a talk called Linked Content Now!

Being Dialogic: Introduction
Being Dialogic is about content perceived and practiced with a view to the archetypal force of human connection and the riches hidden in one of its manifestations: the World Wide Web.

Reading Ogilvy with Knowledge Graphs in Mind
Just like no teenager sat to write content, when the muse gifted them the idea for their first poem (ref. Clue 17), no one of us woke up today with the feeling that we need content.

CV data as Linked Data?
Digital space is actual space, the space in which we live. A space is a set of relationships between objects; in our contemporary society, space is a hybridization of connected and non-connected objects that are structured by writing. Marcello Vitali-Rosati, On Editorialization: Structuring Space and Authority in the Digital Age Just yesterday I finished my application for a
Surfing the Web Layer of Things, Technology and Thoughts: A Dialogue with Ruben Verborgh
Ruben Verborgh is one of those amazing people I have crossed paths with on my Semantic Web journey. A professor of Semantic Technology, Ruben is a hard-working man (and a rising TEDx star) on a quest to decentralising the Web. I met Ruben through the Solid project on my own way to finding the means to best support
From Envisioning Art to Embedding It with Metadata: A Dialogue with Margaret Warren
Margaret does something that is of uber importance for all of us: she builds and thinks through the technology of describing, storing and retrieving images. Her tool ImageSnippets™, created for anyone who archives, curates or shares images on the Web (who doesn't these days) was born out of her passion and scientific problem: the semantic annotation
The Project Solid as a Road Assembling Itself on the Go
The Linked Data social ecosystem Solid is a work in progress. So are its UX and UI. Roads assembling themselves on the go. But let's face it, isn't our own understanding of how we use, curate and give our data on the Web one that is still shaping and evolving? One that needs reassessing and reframing? We have
