• The web is not Query-able:

• APIs:

• Not inherently interoperable

• APIs Operate on the keyword level

• Discovery doesn’t exist (WSDL failed)

• Not aware of each other

• No standard ontology / format

• Many of them

• 99.9% of the information on the web is unstructured

• Web data is partial, noisy, inaccurate, not objective

• Too few know RDF/OWL/SPARQL

An explosion of open data. Maturation of standards The cloud is here. Ready to host the next web. Information is on the cloud

Google acquires MetaWeb, Google App-Engine, Azure DataMarket, Amazon datasets

Computing scalability, maintenance is abstracted and simplified Data aware apps are a natural derivative of the API

interoperability. The benefits Major reduction in data-driven app development costs New paradigm - self-assembling apps are feasible Line between search and application becomes blurred.
