The Future

If there is a Web 3.0, what was Web 1.0 and Web 2.0?

Long before Web 1.0

What was Web 1.0?

• Web pages linked to each other

• Static

• Read-only

• Slow (by today’s standard) download speeds

• The first dot com bubble

• A web of documents, a web of looking

What is Web 2.0?

What is Web 2.0?

• Connected

• Social

• User-generated

• Personalised

• Mobile services

• Blogging, networking, tagging

“RAW DATA NOW”

What is Open Data?

Non-personal data (usually) held by government that is available to use and re-mix by anyone.

Different levels

K Make your stuff available on the Web

KK Make it available as structured data

KKK Use non-proprietary formats

KKKK use URIs to identify things

KKKKK Link your data to other data

What use is it?

Bus Stop Data + Real Time Information =

Using Data

A new digital workforce

In small companies

In the public sector

In bedrooms

Networked

Showing off

Opportunities

Citizens

Public Sector

Research base

Digital Companies

‘Armchair auditors’ Empowered and engaged

From service to IP creation

Inter-disciplinary Breaks new ground

Savings…. From IT procurement to ‘Innovation Partnerships’

“The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation”

Sir Tim Berners-Lee

Creating a Web of Data

Sharing the same format

Interconnected

KKKKK Link your data to other data

Towards understanding context

What if physical objects had internet addresses?

What if they were linked to each others?

What if my plants could provide live data about themselves

What if they could use twitter?

“What does it all mean? When it is not only “us” but also our “Things” that can upload, download, disseminate and stream meaningful and meaning-making stuff, how does the way in which we occupy the physical world become different?”

Julian Bleecker 2006

Some final thoughts

There isn’t a Web 3.0 but Web 2.0 is changing

There is a shift towards seeing ‘data’ as the raw material of the web

This data has opportunity for you

It will create new markets

“New businesses can be built on the back of this data: Data is an essential raw material for a wide range of new information products and services which build on new possibilities to analyse and visualise data from different sources. Facilitating re-use of this raw data will create jobs and thus stimulate growth.”

EU Commission's Open Data Strategy – December 2011
