WWIC => the web *isn’t* •a radio • a tv • a newspaper • an encyclopedia • a librarian

WWIC => the web *is* a way to shareopinions and expertise

thoughtful platforms foropinions and expertise

if you’re building a website, ask yourself

“How can people use it to share theiropinions and expertise about my stuff?”

LLDlinked library data

use URIs as names for things use HTTP URIs provide useful information include links to other URIs http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

an example ofwhat we used to build

an example ofwhat we we build now

Rembrandt at artic.eduauthority record at OCLC

who’s linking to my stuffin wikipedia?

Rembrandt in linkypedia

Rembrandt from linkypedia

Picasso: name variants, search links

Picasso from more than linkypedia

platform forfollowing your nose to cool stuff

lovely, but

if we stop herewe’re missing something

how can people use this to shareopinion and expertise ?

LLD needsfeedback mechanisms

comments? voting? q&a? edits?

i tried editsusing version control

w/MeSH

MeSH Browser

static up-to-dateopaque URIs read-only

3 years of MeSH history as version-control-backed LLD

dynamicup-to-date, plus history (mappably) cool URIs read/write

cloneable forkableeditable locally pushable mergable etc.able

not all roses

uninteresting diffsawkward ﬁle names lots of ﬁles per dir serialization issues

but lots of possibilities

anybody could add comments

anybody could clone for local use

anybody could forkand submit patches

who would shareopinions and expertise?

same people as do now

Vegans!

well,Vegans and catalogers.

we do this work now in private, proprietary systems

take back-room systems andput them on the web or, at least, output from them

use URIs as names for things use HTTP URIs provide useful information include links to other URIs http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

mix in versioning,commenting
