Raw Data Now

See the original link here.

“20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he’s building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.”

I have been posting about this video quite a bit on Twitter: Tim Berners-Lee talking at the TED conference in February 2009 in Long Beach, California. His slogan: Raw Data Now!

Some quotes:

“Now I want you to put your data on the web”

“Raw Data Now!”

“It’s all about linked data”

This is a mandatory watch for anybody interested in the next wave of the Internet. It’s going to be about leveraging linked (raw) data to generate synergies, unlocking its potential. So, c’mon guys, it’s not that difficult: Make your data available to the world now. And do it with 3scale. Trust me – it’s the easiest and fastest way of doing it.
