preparing for the impact of web 3.0
DESCRIPTION
A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.TRANSCRIPT

More content and streams of data – these online environments require a better understanding of what being ‘online’ means!

The Fab Lab Network covers more than 40
countries in more than 200 labs in the world.
Every Fab Lab is a potential classroom for
the Fab Academy.
The Robots and Dinosaurs Hackerspace meets right here in
Sydney and offers a communal space where geeks and artists brainstorm
ideas, play games, work on collaborative projects, and share the
cost of some great tools.http://robodino.org/

information access and sharing
Wonderful world of….

learning today requires that teachers and school librarians understand reading and information seeking in a connected world....
More content, streams of data, topic structures, (theoretically) better quality - all of these in online environments require an equivalent shift in our capacity to understand information structures.
How does search impact the way students think and the way we
organise information access?
Search is fast without necessarily being safe or intelligent

How much does Google really
know about us, in practical terms,
and — more importantly —
how much should we care?

The semantic web, or web 3.0, is all about data integration.
it is an infrastructure technology
and an organised approach to metadata

The semantic web allows a person or a computer to start off in one database, and then move through an unending set
of databases which are connected, not by wires, but by
being about the same thing.
This is where complexity theory doesn’t quite cut it!
Rather than just identifying keywords and expressions,
the semantic web concentrates on identifying
the meaning of content.
It is about common formats and
metadata which allow for integration and combination of
linked data drawn from diverse sources.
It is also about language, or ontology, for recording how the linked data relates to real world objects, allowing a ‘machine’ to
‘understand’ the semantic meaning of words.

Linked Open Data on the Web. The site currently contains metadata on 3.5 million texts, images, videos and sounds.
HOW does this work?
CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY
Whereas traditional library metadata has always been focused on helping humans find and make use of information, linked data ontologies are focused on helping machines find and make use of information.
linkeddata.org schema.org/
This uri ‘http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85042531’ has now become the globally available, machine and human readable, reliable source for the description for the subject heading of ‘Elephants’ containing links to its related terms (in a way that both machines and humans can navigate).
Information Architecture
!
Making it possible to federate, query, browse, gather and recommend information from disparate sources.
!
Think of the Web 3.0 environment as the portable, personal web,
focused on the individual, on a life-stream, on consolidating
content, and which is powered by widgets, drag & drop, and
mashups of user engagement.
!
This socially powered web is exploding, and is the new
baseline for all our internet and technology empowered
interactions.
!
Another feature of our hyper-connected
systems is the democratisation of information
organisation and access.
DATA is the NEW BLACK
This is our context!
Metadata ~ what are the rules of engagement? Schema ~ what about controlled vocabularies? Users ~ what are their access needs Interface ~ how many access points? Data ~ what are the opportunities for user engagement? Media ~ what are the elements of interactivity? Access ~ what can we learn from the semantic web?
.... old questions, new answers
.... what is your discovery interface!
Context aware: • Points on the curriculum • Points on the interest continuum • Capacity to support learning discovery!
Access aware: •Interfaces to support searching and discovery
Search aware: • Natural, predictive, responsive
Results aware: • Multimodal and multi-depository • Relevant, filtered
How do you stack up?
This is our context!
.... your information services reality
Resource Description and Analysis (RDA) as the power tool behind information organisation
• RDA emphasizes the importance of relationships
• RDA adds precision to access points • RDA provides greater internationalisation • RDA builds a display of results that conveys
meaningful information to the user
