This post is part contribution to the general Web 3.0 / Data-Web / Semantic Web discourse, and part experiment / demonstration of the Data Web.

It's kind of ironic to see what has emerged after ISWC 2006 and the Web 2.0 Summit . From my vantage point, if appears as though the Web 2.0 event inadvertently (albeit beneficially) left its attendees looking for the next big thing re. the Web Innovation Continuum as exemplified by the "Web 3.0" meme from the New York Times (NYT) which triggered the current "Web 2.0 vs Web 3.0 Brouhaha".

It's really nice to see DAWG-Fooding in effect at ISWC 2006 as demonstrated by this ISWC 2006 Technical Links Page :-) Likewise, It would be nice if there were some Mash-ups, Service Endpoints, or Syndication Feeds that exposed relevant Data from the Web 2.0 Summit (beyond the usual selective, best-of, type Blog Commentary and traditional Speakers List ).

In a previous blog post I suggested that the emerging SIOC-o-sphere should be described as "Blogosphere 2.0". Well, as I think about this a little deeper, I have come to the realization that this cannot really be correct (even though it may be more buzz worthy etc..).

There are no rules any more and as much as I’d like to come up with some kind of all encompassing unified field theory of ethical research method, I know that smarter people than m...
