The New York Times Embraces the Semantic Web

In this short interview, Michael Zimbalist, head of R&D at The New York Times, talks about the natural interoperability of Print and Mobile content. He also explains how comprehensive metadata annotation of content can make it "smart," freeing it to become "device independent media." This is the promise of the Semantic Web as The Times sees it.



The Semantic Web will be critical to search and consumption of Web video.
