The next Internet giant company will be linking open data and
providing open access to repositories, in the process seamlessly
combining both paid for subscriptions, Creative Commons or similar
license based or open source software schemes.
Revenues will be generated among other things from online advertising
streams currently not utilized by Google or Yahoo!
In the big scheme of things this company will redefine the concept of
internet search to provide access to deep(er) web levels of data and
information for which users will be willing to pay an annual flat fee
subscription.
Sound improbable? Non-profit organizations dedicated to providing
global open access will soon start exploring just such business
schemes to determine if it is feasible to fund and maintain the server
farms, hard and software to do just that.
Milton,
Not improbable, that's what coming :-)
The only tweak of you statement would be this: there will be a
federation of linked data spaces rather than a single behemoth :-)
