Organizing Visual Data

My LinkedIn connection, Jeff Stewart, from Trekk Cross Media alerted me to the information for this posting.

I can’t imagine a better example of “organizing data” than what is in this video. While we might naturally think of data as “text” based, this example shows what can happen when visual data is organized. This is a great example of the developing “semantic web”.

The Professor who uses visual information in the classroom (architects, visual arts, graphic design etc.) will want to keep an eye on this technology.
