That is really not much different from the search engines that are being constructed today for users throughout the entire world to allow them to search through databases to access the information that they require.

Data is the kind of ubiquitous resource that we can shape to provide new innovations and new insights, and it's all around us, and it can be mined very easily.

Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it.

I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.

Web pages are designed for people. For the Semantic Web, we need to look at existing databases.

It simply isn't acceptable for the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon and others, which amass data by the terabyte, to say, 'Don't worry, your information's safe with us, as all sorts of rules protect you' - when all evidence suggests otherwise.

Data is cost. It takes money to create data, store it, clean it, and throw resources at it to learn anything from it.

I used to make up names when I used to catalog my stuff.
