Semantic Web Elevator Pitch for… Government and Citizenry?

Last year, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave a 90-second elevator pitch for the Semantic Web.  Granted, it started about four minutes into a 32-minute long speech. This speech, given March 22, 2010, was long before our original challenge went out, but this discovery was simply too fun to not include it here. Obviously, it was not an official submission.

The Pitch


We are still collecting elevator pitches from our readers in an attempt to answer the question “What is the Semantic Web?” If you think you have a pitch in you, check out the original challenge.

Thanks to Bernadette Hyland, CEO of Talis, Inc., and regular participant in the SemanticLink podcasts for finding and sharing this!
