2. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 2 December 11, 2023 The Future of the Web ▪ From a Web of documents (e.g.HTML pages) to a Web of structured data and services ▪ semantic web and linked data ▪ cloud computing ▪ enabling technologies - URI, XML, RDF and OWL ▪ The Internet as one global machine ▪ interoperability of services ▪ automatic reasoning ▪ The Mobile Web ▪ access information and services offered by the global machine from everywhere at any time, feed the machine with new data and teach the machine new relationships between data
3. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 3 December 11, 2023 The Future of the Web ... ▪ Internet of Things (Web of Things) ▪ integration of physical objects with the global machine ▪ physical world gets reflected in digital space via sensor input data (e.g.digital twins) - RFID, GPS, temperature, ... ▪ information and services managed by the global machine get projected into the physical space via augmented reality ▪ Personal data that is nowadays stored in folders on personal computers might move to the global machine ▪ User interfaces for the global machine ▪ personalised filtering and recommendation of related information based on user profiling and AI technologies (risk of filter bubble) ▪ cross-media browsers
4. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 4 December 11, 2023 The Future of the Web ... ▪ How will documents look like in the future? ▪ graph of linked data ▪ documents as structural view of the linked data ▪ How are the presented ideas related to approaches introduced earlier in the course? ▪ e.g.Bush's Memex or Nelson's Xanadu ▪ Do we need new publishing models for the creation of linked data to be managed by the global machine? ▪ Finally, it is not only about connecting our data, services and machines but we are the machine
5. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 5 December 11, 2023 New Forms of User Interfaces ▪ Is the concept of a document still the right metaphor for accessing linked data? ▪ What about interfaces with semantic zooming functionality to seamlessly dive into more details? ▪ Will the increasing impact of social computing also be manifested in future interfaces for the global machine? ▪ e.g.filtering and ranking of information Microsoft's Photosynth interface for digital images
6. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 6 December 11, 2023 New Forms of User Interfaces ... ▪ In the future we will no longer just access information from the machine via a web browser but augment and use the physical environment as natural user interface (augmented reality interfaces) ▪ The use of linked data could help to overcome some the limitations of existing document-centric desktop interfaces ▪ files as ultimate level of granularity ▪ no links (associations) between files or parts of files ▪ missing content annotation functionality

9. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 9 December 11, 2023 Solid ▪ Social Linked Data ▪ web decentralisation project led by Tim Berners-Lee ▪ set of tools and conventions based on Linked Data principles (URI, RDF(S), OWL, SPARQL, ..) ▪ Give users control over their data (true data ownership) ▪ personal online datastores (pods) - users decide where their pods are hosted ▪ decoupling of applications and data - data can be reused across applications - avoids vendor lock-in app X app Y pod 1 pod 2 pod 3 pod 4
