I'm pleased to say my proposal for this years XTech conference has been accepted. I'm talking about "Using socially authored content to provide new routes through existing content archives" (I know - snappy !). It's based off the work that Rattle have been doing with the BBC to look at ways to use socially authored media (i.e. Wikipedia, del.icio.us etc ...) to augment and generate new metadata for BBC content.
If you've not been to XTech before, you're in luck as it's over in Dublin this year, so it's only a quick Ryan Air flight away (check out last years schedule for a taste), the final schedule of speakers should be confirmed over the next week or so, but with Douglas Crockford, Simon Wardley and Steven Pemberton confirmed it's got to be good. I'll also be helping out with the Lightning Talks again this year, which always prove to be a giggle.
You can see more details over at the Rattle Blog ...
