Drs. Wood & Seuss Explain RDF in Two Minutes by Eric Franzon.
From the post:
“How would you explain RDF to my grandmother? I still don’t get it…” a student recently asked of David Wood, CTO of 3Roundstones. Wood was speaking to a class called “Linked Data Ventures” and was made up of students from the MIT Computer Science Department and the Sloan School of Business. He responded by creating a slide deck and subsequent video explaining the Resource Description Framework using the classic Dr. Seuss style of rhyming couplets and the characters Thing 1 and Thing 2.
I hope this student’s grandmother found this as enjoyable as I did. (Video after the jump).
This is a great explanation of RDF. You won’t be authoring RDF after the video but for you will have the basics.
Take this as a goad to come up with something similar for topic maps and other semantic technologies.
