Berners-Lee Pushes Linked Data In MIT Course 102
ErMKutz writes "WWW inventor Tim Berners-Lee is championing linked data — the idea of assigning web addresses to individual pieces of data to enable more intelligent information searches — much like he did now-ubiquitous Internet standards such as HTML and HTTP. But the ethic hasn't quite taken off yet, so he and a group of Boston tech and entrepreneurial all-stars are launching an MIT class to teach students linked data mechanics and fast-track the technology to market. They're combining engineering and entrepreneurial education in the hopes of launching viable linked data businesses or open source code at the conclusion of the course." I hope this shows up on OpenCourseWare.
something like deep linking? (Score:1, Informative)
This sounds pretty much like deep linking. which per wikipedia is
Deep linking, on the World Wide Web, is making a hyperlink that points to a specific page or image on a website, instead of that website's main or home page. Such links are called deep links.
I remember hearing about a couple of lawsuits which were raised because of deep linking and i dont see how this is any different.
I can faintly hear the lawyer sharpening their tools right now......

You mean a lot of libraries in the states use it. Rest of the world is quite happy with the Dewey decimal system.
