Hi, I'm giving a lecture on next Tuesday at the university of Oulu to students about some views to the development of the web, and am covering both the semantic web and 'the 3d web' i.e. virtual worlds there. To prepare that wrote an article, which includes a brief quite technically focused overview of the current web and those more recent developments, and then some pondering about their possible interplay. A motivation is that I haven't seen those two areas discussed together much yet. The current draft is and will grow at http://www.playsign.fi/web3/Introduction -- any comments or hints would be very welcome! (as emails or comments on the wiki page)
A special feat for opensim&realxtend users and developers: included is a wild idea of how we could start 'eating or own dogfood' more, using virtual worlds for the development -- direct link to that part is http://www.playsign.fi/web3/Introduction#shared-functional-environments-for-software-projects I've had the idea that that 'web3' wiki could serve as a place to gather info about such devs in the future too, this article and lecture being a starting point. Am happy to migrate to some existing place though if there already is one. Especially with the semantic web am quite uninformed about the current devs as haven't worked with it at all during the past few years. Thank you for your time, if that seemed worth spending any for someone :) ~Toni _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
