Presentations
The One Web
It is not Web 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0. It is THE Web. This is a feature, not a bug. This talk will look back in time as a means of predicting the future and debunk certain myths created by popular media about the various versions of the Web. More importantly, this talk will demonstrate how underlying Web-based data integration standards coupled with flexible front-end architectures are being used for more effective personal, group and corporate information management on a range of devices. This pairing results in an Internet Experience that is rich on both the front and back ends.
This talk will discuss where we are in achieving this goal, what is still required and where some of the bodies are buried that were lost along the way.
