Klaus Tochtermann presented on science 2.0-enabled paradigms for information delivery. He discussed how the social and semantic web will impact research and publication processes. Specifically, he examined how tools like social media, blogs and wikis can support open science practices. Tochtermann also explored challenges of reputation management, citizen science, open data licensing and ensuring reliability of linked open data. The presentation proposed moving from taking users to content to bringing personalized content to users through viral information delivery enabled by semantic technologies.

Challenges…
 No tailored information delivery
How to tailor the information?
 No reliability, validity of data (e.g. out-dated data)
Which data is trustworthy and who is responsible for data
accuracy?
 No governance structure for LoD
Who owns the LoD and who maintains the infrastructure?
