Ralph Rivera is the BBC's new Director of Future Media. He's in Oxford today addressing a seminar to open the new office of the W3C, the web's standards-setting body. Later we'll publish a fuller blog post by Ralph but, in the meantime, here's his presentation.
The seminar began with a presentation by the web's inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, entitled Future Directions of the Web. Speakers from Vodafone, Microsoft and the Oxford Internet Institute are also present. The hashtag is #W3CUKI.
Steve Bowbrick is editor of About the BBC
- Wired UKcovered Ralph's speech, focusing on the value of the BBC's digital content to the UK economy. Ralph made a speech on a similar theme at The Guardian's Chaning Media conference earlier this year.
