Now we have an mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

  • Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power
  • Postulate 2: Time is Money

As every engineer knows,

Power = Work/Time

Since Knowledge = Power we have:

Knowledge = Work/Time.

Since Time = Money we have:

Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money we get:

Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you Money you make.

The paper is titled “Will Personal Learning Environments become ubiquitous through the use of Widgets?” and was accepted as follows:

We are pleased to inform you that your paper
Title: Will Personal Learning Environments become ubiquitous through the use of Widgets?
has been accepted for publication as short paper (max. 6 pages) in the conference proceedings on condition of integrating the recommendations of the reviewers.

The conference is located in Graz (Austria) from the 2nd – 4th of September 2009. By the way, it is my first publication which I very happy about! For everybody who is interested in the field of Knowledge Management and Knowledge Technologies should register for the conference as registration has just been opened.

One of the highlights of October’s Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco was the emergence of ‘Semantic Apps’ as a force. Note that we’re not necessarily talking about the Semantic Web, which is the Tim Berners-Lee W3C led initiative that touts technologies like RDF, OWL and other standards for metadata. Semantic Apps may use those technologies, but not necessarily [ReadWriteWeb 2007].

ReadWriteWeb has published a great list of 10 interesting semantic apps at the end of 2007. Now in year 2009 some of them have matured. Check out Freebase which let’s you access a huge space of linked open datasets.
