OLPC comes to Nepal. That’s great! Instead of buying lots of books, all of that can be stored in the laptop. If the battery is good enough, it will also get around the current problem of severe power cuts in Nepal.

From Wikipedia URI-s to DBpedia URI… « Ivan’s blog

Recently, I was playing with several linked data browsers to view data from StYLiD. Amazing to see so many data browsers available today 
There are also many RDF visualization tools like
…. and so on. Wow! what an impressive list. Please add to it if I missed some.
However, I do not think that these generic RDF or linked data browsers will be useful or usable for general users, who do not know what is RDF or Semantic Web. The user will get lost in the complex data network, with lot of wanted and unwanted data, shown monotonously. I feel that it would be better to hide all this data network from the user and rather provide them useful functionalities or present only some useful data in user friendly way.
The combination of user participation if Web 2.0 with the vision of the Semantic Web is hot area now. I am also trying to contribute something in this area. Some call this practical direction Web 3.0. I see the name Web 3G now - The Third Generation of the Web Anyway, I believe that the Web is really going to advance a lot.
