The 8th linked data business model
In response to my post on linked data business models, Leigh Dodds at Talis wrote a terrific piece with his thoughts on the business of linked data. Leigh presents a number of great ideas that I think really carry the conversation forward.
One of his points is that I overlooked an important model, what he calls the “sponsorship model.” Under this model, a government entity or a non-profit organization has a funded mandate to deliver certain data to the public or their targeted constituency. I’d humbly suggest calling it the subsidized model though, to avoid confusion, because sponsorship is often associated with advertising and branding — very different business models.
The European Union is spending millions of pounds developing "Orwellian" technologies designed to scour the internet and CCTV images for "abnormal behaviour".
20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he's building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together. About Tim Berners-Lee Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He leads the World Wide Web Consortium, overseeing the Web's standards and development.
I must admit that lately Google is the cause of my headaches. No, not just because it decided I was not going to be not provided with useful information about my sites. And neither because it is changing practically every tool I got used since my first days as an SEO (Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools, Gmail…). And, honestly, not only because it released a ravenous Panda. No, the real question that is causing my headaches is: What the hell does Google want to go with all these changes?
The Haystack Project is investigating approaches designed to let people manage their information in ways that make the most sense to them. By removing arbitrary application-created barriers, which handle only certain information “types” and relationships as defined by the developer, we aim to let users define their most effective arrangements and connections between views of information. Such personalization of information management will dramatically improve everyone’s ability to find what they need when they need it.
OntoWiki is a tool providing support for agile, distributed knowledge engineering scenarios.
OntoWiki facilitates the visual presentation of a knowledge base as an information map, with different views on instance data. It enables intuitive authoring of semantic content, with an inline editing mode for editing RDF content, similar to WYSIWIG for text documents.
Communities und soziale Netzwerke sind hochdynamische Gebilde die durch vielfältige, agile Beziehungen zwischen den Akteuren sowie deren Verknüpfungen mit verschiedensten Konzepten (z.B. Themen, Aufgaben, etc) gekennzeichnet sind.
Der Betrieb derartiger Wissensnetze (als Zusammenschlüsse von Wissensträgern) stellen die unterschiedlichen Akteure innerhalb der Communities vor nicht unerhebliche Aufgaben – so beispielsweise im Rahmen des aktiven Managements der behandelnden Themenstellungen, des Partnermanagements bzw. der Suche nach Akteuren mit entsprechendem Know-how.
Das Projekt "SemNetMan" (Semantisch basiertes Netzwerkmanagement) führt Methoden der vernetzten Wissensgesellschaft, wie etwa die Social Network Analysis (SNA) und die Techniken des Semantic Web, zusammen und unterstützt das Netzwerkmanagement mit Fokus auf die Teambildung und die Verknüpfung von Themen und Personen.
In an on-going discussion at Webtorials, Gary Audin enumerated some of the features that are becoming available for IPDR (IP Detail Recording) for cable service providers.
At the 2007 EG conference, Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what's coming in the next 5,000 days? About Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly has been publisher of the Whole Earth Review, exec editor at WIRED, founder of visionary nonprofits, and writer on biology and business and "cool tools." He's admired for his new…
It appears the privacy debates are evolving in tandem with Social Media morphing into its next iteration, the Semantic Web. As we struggle to redefine privacy and transparency, how we access and utilize data will become a much more robust enterprise. Concurrently, as Facebook's Open Graph and "Like" buttons begin to define who we are, the essence of hyperlinks are metamorphosing into peoplelinks.
Many industry observers predict IT employees of the future will be less focused on building and delivering services and more focused on integrating and managing them. I wrote about this shift earlier this month, sharing some scary forecasts from the Corporate Executive Board's Information Technology Practice and titling my post "Say Goodbye to IT as We Know It." A Computerworld article strikes a similar theme (and title) with "IT Careers 2010: The End of IT as We Know It." You can accuse journalists of having a sensationalistic bent, but IT pros themselves recognize a shift is under way. Twenty-six percent of IT pros surveyed by Computerworld last month said that while their role will still exist in 2020, "it will have changed dramatically." Another 10 percent said their current job would no longer exist, and 7 percent said it was "not likely" their job would still be around.
We may build a search capability in the future. This capability would allow users to search the metadata repository and receive back a list of entries that match that search criteria. Unless you have authorized it via an API parameter, this list would not
The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project is creating a Web of machine-readable pages describing people, the links between them and the things they create and do.
FOAF is about your place in the Web, and the Web's place in our world. FOAF is a simple technology that makes it easier to share and use information about people and their activities (eg. photos, calendars, weblogs), to transfer information between Web sites, and to automatically extend, merge and re-use it online.
Structured Blogging is all about giving bloggers the tools to create and syndicate structured information, such as reviews and events. We currently offer two Structured Blogging plugins for the popular blogging platforms Movable Type and Wordpress. Using these plugins makes it easy to create, edit, and maintain different kinds of posts.
EU-Parlamentarier aus vier Fraktionen haben eine parteienübergreifende Initiative gestartet, mit der sie die EU auf mehr Freiheit und Wahrung der Menschenrechte im Netz verpflichten wollen. Eva Lichtenberger, EU-Abgeordnete der Grünen, gehört mit zu den Initianten.
At TED2009, Tim Berners-Lee called for "raw data now" -- for governments, scientists and institutions to make their data openly available on the web. At TED University in 2010, he shows a few of the interesting results when the data gets linked up. About Tim Berners-Lee Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He leads the World Wide Web Consortium, overseeing the Web's standards and development.

Ein Vergleich: Alle Sozialen Netzwerke zusammen haben im Jahr 2008 etwa zwei Millarden Dollar umgesetzt, Google hingegen kam auf 5,7 Milliarden Dollar - alleine im Schlussquartal 2008.
Damit sind wir beim offenbar alleinigen Gewinner angelangt. Das einzige Marktsegment, das im Netz in den nächsten Jahren stabil wachsen wird, ist nämlich die suchebezogene Werbung. Wachsen wird also vornehmlich Google, das mehr als drei Viertel des Weltmarkts innehat.
Quer durch die Bank erwarten die Analysten etwa acht Prozent Umsatzplus, drei Viertel davon sind für Google.
Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards. Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns (e.g. XHTML, blogging).
