Podcast on Semantic Web, Open Access and Open Data

Paul Miller of Talis interviewed me over the phone today and the result has been captured as a podcast. It’s rather longer than I suspect either of us expected (70 mins) – I have spent some time explaining the basics of scientific publication, citation, and later RDF and the semantic web.
I have been thinking about pdocasting -I suspect this example is too long and that 15 minutes would be maximum – feedback welcomed. (It could be reasonably split in the middle – the first part being Open Access – the second being Open Data and the semantic Web). One downside is that Google doesn’t index the audio. I had a suggestion some time back that there was software which could transcribe audio to a reasonable degree – although this would have errors it might be could enough for indexing.
There has been no editing. Listening to the replay – I sound too pessimistic about Open Access – I should probably say that I see this too much from a chemical point of view and that other subjects are moving much faster.
