Response to Laura Williams

"As a tech connoisseur I am always very keen to learn about cutting edge technologies that will eventually become the new standard. Naturally, I gravitated most to the Reading 11 activities -- New Directions in CMS. This subject also has practical application for me in my work environment where we are struggling to source a new way of leveraging our disparate technology solutions so that the information housed in them may be integrated, aggregated, and accessed throughout the organization. We need an enterprise platform that can enable this initiative and I am leading the early stages of needs assessment and looking at solutions that will best fulfill those needs. The new Semantic Web protocol is exactly the kind of solution we need and I was delighted to see that there were already some tools commercially available that provide this functionality. I intend to explore them further!"


Laura,
I like your choice of words as to what this will do for the average Internet user, “infuse with logic.” As I was reading the information on Web 3.0, I was making more personal connections and what “logic” or interface or collaboration with data could provide to an individual about trends in one’s life (e.g. the most amount of money spent juxtaposed with your appointment/personal calendar. Obviously, similar applications can be used for business and education.
