last 30 years in computing industry...In publishing, printing press, move to online - all waves

Recent Junction between publishing and computing - web 1.0Lets talk about the web

the web circa 1991

a web of documents

web 2.0 is a highly evolved web of documents, with user generated content on top (and rounded corners of course!)

Actually in technology terms, web 2.0 = web 1.0Actually in technology terms, web 2.0 = web 1.0

if you’re currently thinking about web 2.0, you’re about

10 years late

now lets talk about what’s next...now lets talk about what’s next...

What’s wrong with web 2.0?

to do that, going to look at what’s wrong with status quo

a simple google query by a novice

hidden meaning of linksone of the problems

is...one of the problems is...

the semantics of the link cannot be

determined by machines

for the next wave of intelligent web applications, we need a machine readable web

this is the promise of semantic web

Next wave needs new technology - lets take a look at it

(we are at start of 10 year wave)

today we’re looking at how facts can be published on the semantic web

what could we build with a web of

scholarly (meta) data?

(2 things)

1/3rd UK HE market, 1 million

students

Born in the web 3.0 world, integrating

e-content deep into the learning

workflow

Getting to content can be hard

Half the academic libraries surveyed indicated that

their use of eBooks was to support their core reading

57% of those not using eBooks did not do so

because they don’t know where to find them

Only 1.3% surveyed perceived easy to locate as

an advantage the eBook

today....

But how do we bring it to life?

soon....

Content at point of need

Use network of millions of

users to add value

Just the start - imagine the

other possibilities

Research tools based on semantic searching, data sets, blah blah blah

Don’t have to be a big player
