People and communities have data stores and programs to share
- Vision: Expanding the Web to include more machine accessible resources
Key Web technologies:
- Web Services: communications for

- Standards for interactions between programs on the Web
- Easier to Expose and Use services (and data they provide)
- Semantic Web: meaning of
data*
- Standards for data, relationships, descriptions on the Web
- Easier to Understand, Search for, Share, Aggregate, Extend information
* abstractions :-)
