Conference program to focus on semantic web and linked data business strategies.

Jupitermedia Corporation, a provider of images, news and information, today announced the program for its new Web 3.0 Conference & Expo covering Semantic Web and Linked Data business applications. The company states that  Scott Prevost, General Manager and Director of Product Development at Powerset, and Amiad Soloman, CEO of Peer39, will be the keynote speakers for the event. Web 3.0 Conference & Expo takes place October 16-17, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California.

The company claims that Web 3.0 Conference & Expo is the only event with sessions devoted to business models and applications for the developing field of the Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, recently predicted that developments in Semantic Web and Linked Data research could lead to an immense revolution in what is today known as "paid search", it adds.

"We are delighted to have Scott Prevost and Amiad Solomon as our keynote speakers for the new Web 3.0 Conference & Expo," said Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia Corporation. "This event is for the builders of the next generation Web: designers, developers, entrepreneurs, marketers, business strategists and venture capitalists. Web 3.0 combines the dynamic Linked Data and Semantic Web into this exciting new event creating the first vertically targeted conference focused on the business of Web 3.0," added Meckler.
