an overlay of scalable vector graphics - everything rippling and folding and looking misty
October 11th, 2006“People keep asking what Web 3.0 is,” Berners-Lee said. “I think maybe when you’ve got an overlay of scalable vector graphics - everything rippling and folding and looking misty - on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you’ll have access to an unbelievable data resource.”
Very poetic, makes me think a “killer app” can be with a nice SVG user interface.
Wonder what you could do in SVG with all the SIOC clouds…
Web 0.2 , Not 2.0 - Heading towards Web 1.0
October 11th, 2006Weaving the Web is a great book by W3C Director Tim Berners-Lee.
The Title is :
“Weaving the Web
The Original Design and Ultimate Destiny of the World Wide Web By Its Inventor”
We have scratched the surface of the “Web 1.0″ vision, as so many ideas of how the Web would operate, such as editing a document naturally from a browser, have just started to come into adoption, not even to mention ontology usages, predicate logic, etc., a global information bank of machine processed information to facilitate human understanding, learning, exploring, conflict and sharing.
We are in Web 0.2 , heading towards the Web 1.0, the Semantic Web.
Jon Bosak on the History of XML
October 11th, 2006Fascinating document from the “Father of XML”, Jon Bosak
The Birth of XML
Whilst aware of Jon Bosak’s contribution to XML, a key layer of the Semantic Web Stack, I did not know that Dan Connolly played such an instrumental role in the creation of XML.
Thanks Dan!
Remembering Yuri Rubinsky
October 6th, 20062006 marks the 10 Year Anniversery of the paranirvana of Yuri Rubinsky.
XML Podcast has a great multimedia podcast with audio of folks who know Yuri and worked with him.
I have never met him, was only vaugely aware of standards when he passed in 1996, but I often wonder what the Web would be like without him, as he was so instrumental in helping with SGML and Accessibility on the Web.
XML Podcast Tribute to Yuri Rubinsky
Memories of Yuri Rubinsky, with Eulogies
Perhaps were in not for Yuri getting Charles Goldfarb’s SGML handbook edited, it would have been even more confusing and difficult to adopt. And his championing of getting standardization, people together, and the unfortunate “Holy Grail” (due to lack of awareness, methods), Accessibility.
No SGML, NO HTML.
No Web as it is today, without Yuri.
