A Con
summary
Argument that the web succeeds because protocols and URLs were placed in the public domain and links tolerate breakage, not because of closed control; warns that social networks act as walled gardens and predicts interoperable networks will win. Advocates moving from annotating pages to publishing link data (RDF triples exposed by governments and life sciences), using SPARQL and scalable triple stores, experimenting with PubSub for live updates, and treating HTML5 and mobile as a flexible web application platform.
