Tom Kralidis points us to a new book, and I was struck by how few of the authors I know by name. Am I not getting out enough, or are these folks not taking their ideas to the web like they should?
hmm. Michael Gerlek - OGSeo guy. Mike Dean - top notch DAML/OWL type person, Jim Farley - long time geo guy who's been around, Tom Kralidis - knows his stuff. If the others are like these guys, it's not ivory tower. It's more likely that they travel in different circles. Don't get caught in the trap of "if I'm not reading their blogs they must not be well known". That being said, I'm leery of these kinds of books. They tend to be designed to do one thing - make money for the publisher.
