Sir Tim Berners Lee shared at his TED session about how he developed the World Wide Web. He put it out as a memo, but nothing happened until 18 months later – his boss said he could do it on the side as a “play project.” Roughed up http, urls,etc. He did it because he was frustrated. Years later after his boss had died, they found the original memo with the following comment written on it “vague but exciting“.
The focus of his talk was on the importance of Linked Data – the more things you can link together the more valuable the data becomes. He indicated that today there are far too many silos of information. The power and benefit of linked data is fantastic and goes way beyond what he created when he created the web.
Berners Lee said in essence that data needs to be linked to be “freed.” Too much focus is placed on making a beautiful website for the data, but he states, “give us unadulterated RAW DATA NOW,” (and led the audience in a chant about this) so that the data can be used in many different ways.
