LinkedData Planet Spring 2008 runs 17-18 June 2008 in New Yor, New York

The evolution of the current Web of "linked documents" to a Web of "linked data" is steadily gaining mindshare among developers, architects, systems integrations, users, and the more than 200 software companies developing semantic web-oriented solutions. Organizations such as Adobe, Google, OpenLink Software, Oracle, the W3C, and the grassroots Linking Open Data community have actively provided technology and thought leadership during the embryonic stages of this evolutionary transition.

Notable examples on the Web today include, DBpedia, the Zoominfo search engine, the Bambora travel recommendation site, a number of social networking sites, numerous semantic web technology-based services, various linked data browsers, SPARQL query language and protocol-compliant data servers and data management systems, and a growing number of web sites exposing machine-readable data using microformats, RDFa, and GRDDL.
