Ever found yourself struggling to answer the question “but what is the Semantic Web? Can’t you give me an example…”?
When I was talking at a UKSG seminar recently, one of the deligates asked one of the presenters exactly this – how the Semantic Web might work in practice. The response was slightly woolly – arguably like pretty much everything to do with the entire notion of “semanticness” 
Now, thanks to the video below from True Knowledge (thanks Simon!) it all makes a little more sense.
