What are the best 100 Web 2.0 sites and services? We don't know. But you do.
The Webware 100 will be the 10 best sites in 10 categories, chosen by Webware's readers. The first step to picking the winners is nominating candidates to vote on. Use the form below to enter a site into the awards program. You may come back to enter more. Deadline is May 7.
After nominations have closed, voting for the winners will begin. Click here to learn more.
Whether you use your computer for work or fun, the programs you use generally have one thing in common - they are stored on your PC. Increasingly though, that software is moving online.
The move to put more and more of those familiar programs on to the web has been happening for a while but its latest incarnation has won the name of Web 2.0.
What is it - the definition is imprecise at best, but it loosely describes a category of websites that are known for interactivity, collaboration and community.
Tim Berners-Lee confirmed as plenary speaker
Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a Senior Researcher at MIT where he leads the Decentralized Information Group, and a Professor of Computer Science at University of Southampton. While working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, he invented the World Wide Web. It was there where he wrote the first Web client (a combination of browser and editor) and the first Web server. His original specifications of URLs, HTTP and HTML were widely adopted and refined as Web technology spread. In 2001 he became a fellow of the Royal Society, and more recently he received the 2007 Charles Stark Draper Prize, given by the National Academy of Engineering (US). His plenary talk will take place on Wednesday May 9 at WWW2007.

Where (from bottom up):
* The two lowest layers, i.e. Unicode for a platform-neutral encoding and XML for the platform-neutral document representation are common to all (Semantic) Web applications
* Above the XML layer we have a rough distinction in the multimedia aspect and the Web Service aspect:
o On the Semantic Web/Multimedia tower we have both MPEG-7 and RDF/OWL for representing low and high-level features, possibly extended by rules
o On the Semantic Web/Services tower we have either the RDF/OWL/OWL-S-based branch or the WSML-based branch, both grounded on WSDL, again possibly using rules on the highest level.

Spark looks at the top 10 "Web moments" since the World Wide Web was born 15 years ago, and asks viewers to vote for the one they think had the most impact in the Web's history.
The Semantic Web is the next generation of the Internet. It is currently in its infancy, but it aims to extend the Internet so that the information is structured in a way that meaning is easily interpreted by computers.
