Additional thoughts on 'social' at W3C
2nd session about social web, self-organized, at TPAC2012 .. initial ideas about how a W3C Workshop on Social Web might be organized, and/or who might like to help organize
Summary: we were a very small gathering and had a good chat; didn't get very far with Workshop planning.
Attendees:
- Youngsun Ryu (Samsung)
- Claudio Venezia (Telecom Italia)
- Ann Bassetti (Boeing)
Claudio:
- need use cases, to explain the importance of distributing the data stores, which will make the federated social web even more compelling
- campaign should be: let's distribute data, federate identities
- current situation: one has their data in "SocialNetwork1", which can be referenced from other places .. but SocialNetwork1 _owns_ that data ... if SocialNetwork1 chooses to change their formats or block your access, you lose all your references and data
- European Union is introducing concept of 'social media' (there was more to this that the scribe did not catch)
- there is the concept of 'social' in TVs now
- Examples:
- people chatting online while they both watch TV show
- one person can watch media remotely that's in someone else's data store
- Examples:
- Telecom industry is focused now on delivering lots of bandwidth to customers, which is largely used for social
Youngsun:
- other standard organizations are working on social web, might want to collaborate
- OMA -- Youngsun's colleague is the chair; is very interested in this topic
- OIPF (Open IPTV Forum)
Ann:
- the Social Business Community Group is trying to write some use cases
- the topics of interest given in the first Social Web breakout session might be good outline for how a workshop could be organized
- also see many links to related work in the IRC log from that session
