Tim Berners-Lee1 gave an enthusiastic talk about linked data at TED, urging everybody to get their data out there or, if they don’t have any, to demand access to data in a proper format.

Interestingly, he didn’t mention the words “Semantic Web” once during the talk, nor did he ever say “RDF” or even “URI” – instead he spoke about “names starting with ‘http’”. Cool enough, his slides had the dog food data set in them! :)

A video of the talk and a link to the slides can be found on the ebiquity blog.

where can I found a Text version of Tim Berners Lee’s talk?

I don’t think there is a manuscript or a transcript of the talk (correct me if I’m wrong). There are slides on the W3C site, though.

Something to say?
