Not sure if this came up on the list already, but ... >From Slashdot 6/16: >http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/06/16/202229/Berners-Lee-Pushes-Linked-Data-In-MIT-Course
'"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."
