Dow Jones is hosting a free one hour webinar about the Semantic Web, on Thursday 12 February 2009 at 10:00am and again at 2:00pm EST. The webinar, The Semantic Web: Discover, Determine and Deploy, is the first in a tree-part series on the Semantic Web. I’ll be interested to see how this is presented for what I assume is a very pragmatic, business-oriented audience.

“Dow Jones notes that “these days it’s critical for organizations to consume, digest, and share news and information. The Semantic Web is no longer ahead of its time and is rapidly changing how organizations keep up with information overload.” This webinar is Part I of a series and in it you will learn how Semantic Web Technologies enable you to re-use valuable information to save costs, facilitate easier collaboration and sharing of critical information across your business, and increase search relevancy and surface the most valuable information needed to remain competitive.”

The presenters are Christine Connors and Daniela Barbosa , both members of the Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group. The webinar is free but requires registration.
