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 =

Digital Companies
‘Armchair auditors’ Empowered and engaged
From service to IP creation

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
