HTML 5 is finished - Let's start again

The Web was conceived 26 years ago to solve a complex problem: how to allow communication between different research teams using different systems to run and document different experiments. Of course it has evolved enormously since then. HTML5 is just the centerpiece in a network of technologies that form a globally available operating system available on every connected device. It's interactive, it's powerful, it's fascinating and, at times, it's dangerous. And the Web isn't just about documents, images and videos. It's a web of data. Product data, government statistics, geographic data and more. A lot of this data is available for free – after all, so much of what is online is free – but all too often, you get what you pay for. In this talk, W3C Data Activity Lead, Phil Archer, will look at how Web technologies are being applied in areas like automotive, social Web, graphics and geospatial, and how the technologies and concepts that have made the Web so successful can be harnessed to build the Web of data.
