Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n

It was exactly ten years ago, that Richard MacManus wrote his seminal article entitled, ‘The Read\/Write Web<\/a>‘.\u00a0\u00a0 In a time when ‘weblogs’ were a new phenomenon, and Facebook and Twitter were but twinkles in their founder’s eyes, it’s very much worth reflecting<\/a> on just how far the RWW has come in the last decade!<\/p>\n

A new acronym, WYSIWYM, was coined with the announcement of the impressive markup tool, RDFaCE<\/a>.\u00a0 Watch the screencast<\/a> to see ‘What You See Is What You Mean’, in action.<\/p>\n

The big announcement of the month came from Manu Sporny who demonstrates<\/a> the new Payswarm Linked Data Payments Protocol in action.\u00a0 The whole suite includes many important solutions, such as identity, digital signing, key management, encryption and, of course, payments!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Communications and Outreach<\/span><\/h3>\n

There is been more interaction with the W3C payments group<\/a> on the newly implemented payments protocol.\u00a0 There was some discussion about using WebID as a decentralized identity system.\u00a0 Essentially payswarm<\/a> are already using HTTP URIs to denote an agent so there seems to be a close similarity.\u00a0 Now we can tie these to PEM keys and allow signatures and encryption.\u00a0 That is going to give many new options for identity, auth, secure payments and messaging.<\/p>\n

There has also been some initial discussion<\/a> with OASIS about using Access Control Lists<\/a> with linked data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Community Group<\/span><\/h3>\n

There has been some talk<\/a> about extending the “from” header to allow anyURI as wells as the currently suggested email.\u00a0 This has come up a few times in the past and could be a neat way to identify a user.\u00a0 There is a firefox plugin<\/a> which some people are using already.<\/p>\n

A new protocol, Webmention<\/a>, which is in its early stages, and allows federated commenting on blogs has had some buzz on the web.\u00a0 It is also very similar to the semantic pingback<\/a> protocol many systems use already.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Applications<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first commercial integration of linked data payment systems was launched in the form or ‘meritora<\/a>‘.\u00a0 The team behind it, digital bazaar<\/a>, have also been driving forces in the payswarm<\/a>, rdfa<\/a>, json ld<\/a> and webid<\/a> efforts.\u00a0 Great to see so many web scale technologies come together in a new system!<\/p>\n

There was a look at Daniel Applequist’s integration<\/a> to the internet of things and cosm<\/a> to write his room temperature to the web in realtime.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n

The German Wikimedia Foundation<\/a> has announced<\/a> that its Wikidata<\/a> project has now been deployed on all language versions of Wikipedia and is ready for use around the world.\u00a0 Wikidata \u2013 the first new Wikimedia project since 2006 \u2013 “provides a collaboratively edited database of the world’s knowledge”.\u00a0 Congrats on this big milestone and reaching their 12 millionth linked data item!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
