pre-April 2016 I have already conducted several interviews with individuals that have been essential to the development of the Semantic Web at the Web Science conference at Oxford University in June/July 2015. These individuals include Jim Hendler, Deborah McGuinness, Wendy Hall, Nigel Shadbolt, Noshir Contractor, Susan Halford, and Thanassis Tiropanis. These interviews primarily discussed how the researchers became involved in Semantic Web development and demonstrate some of the diverse epistemic commitments that researchers bring to the infrastructure's development.
