Tim Berners-Lee: The Future of the World Wide Web

Synopsis: A recording of the public lecture on the future of the world wide web given by it founder Tim Berners-Lee at the Royal Society on 22 September 2003. He discusses the potential of the Semantic Web which he believes will enhance the supply and exchange of information and data for the benefit of the Web user. The Semantic Web can be described as a mesh of information linked up in such a way as to be easily processed by machines on a global scale, a type of globally linked database. This gradual enhancement would occur as Web applications develop and incorporate this new language, changing the very mechanisms of the Internet.
