Even more Tim Berners-Lee
The powerful spread of open data.
Sir 'Tim' Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee was, or is, the father of the Internet, that remarkable network that has done to connect millions together. Indeed, my personal view is that the Internet may be the only real tool that people have to protect and defend democracy.
I’m sure thousands know the background of Sir Timothy John “Tim” Berners-Lee, to give him his full name, an Englishman living in the USA.
There was an introduction to the the way that Sir Tim wants to see the web move in yesterday’s Post.
But Tim recently (February 2010) gave a talk in Long Beach, California, entitled The year open data went worldwide. This takes the concept much further.
It’s a fascinating presentation.
