Although I'm not the most talkative one (usually), sometimes people want me to talk about subjects they (all mistakenly, usually) have the impression I should be capable of talking about. These days it happens that they ask me to tell them about the "Semantic Web" - whatever that may be.

So here are the next two scheduled talks related to that dodgy topic:

• In the Internet Efficiency Club TechTalks series: «A Semantic Web Reconnaissance Flight» , March 7 at the Zunfthaus zur Schmiden, Zürich (in German).
• In the "Library Science Talks series (programme), a talk on some work started while at DERI, the «Ontologizing Wikipedia» stuff. September 11 in Geneva at CERN (in English), and on September 12 in Berne at the Swiss National Library (in German).

Both of these are semi-public, AFAIK, so if you ask the organizers kindly enough there shouldn't be any problem getting in.
