Andrew Iliadis: Semantics, Metadata and the Ontologies of Information

Dr. Andrew Iliadis, Assistant Professor of Media Studies and Production in the Lew Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University, joins The Grindstone to discuss his background in philosophy and communication, navigating interdisciplinary spaces as a grad student and as faculty, Gilbert Simondon and the philosophy of information, web 3.0, metadata ontologies, and the social and ethical implications of semantic technologies. Matthew absolutely nails the first line of "Scarborough Fair," but, sadly, there was a technical glitch (see below).Note: Matthew's mic cuts out a few times from the 5:35-7:02 mins marks. Andrew's responses can be heard clearly and will give you a sense of the questions being asked. Special thanks to Reyes Espinoza, who was on the mixer for this episode, for catching the technical difficulty and helping to restore order. Hosted on Acast.
