Overview
  • I would like to share with you some observations
    on the web, the information market, and library
    technologies. No bombshells to drop.
  • We will meet these challenges to ensure our place
    in the information market.

3
Landscape Semantic Web
  • To make better use of the Web, content should be
    machine readable and not just readable by people.
    This would provide for better searching and
    integration of content.
  • When or is it going to happen?
  • Resource Description Framework (RDF)
  • Web Ontology Language (OWL)
  • Extensible Markup Language (XML)
  • Semantic Publishing
  • Z39.50
  • ExLibris MetaLib III MetaFind

4
Landscape Web 2.0
  • Perceived second generation of web services.
  • Network as a platform.
  • Users contribute and own data.
  • Architecture of participation and democracy.
  • Increased mobility.
  • SensorWeb.
  • What does it actually mean?
  • Social networking
  • Wikis
  • Podcasts
  • Weblogs
  • Really Simple Sindication RSS Feeds
  • Folksonomies
  • Wikipedia, UTube, Flickr, MySpace

5
Competing with free web resources
  • We all know there are now vast amounts of quality
    and authoritative information available for free.

6
We can help to organise the web
7
Or they can do it without us
8
We are competing with e-business including
publishers
  • An old and well known marketing rule
  • A producer should not compete with, or under-cut
    its distributors.
  • Wrong

9
A large publisher
10
And a small publisher
11
Direct to mums, dads and kids
12
and students
13
even a library supplier
14
Working with web service providers
  • There is no point fighting them.
  • Join them.
