Well, I guess all the work I've been doing, in order to automatically create traceability annotations for user-generated-content upon resources to support resource recommendation of access control is going down the drain.
Of course not.
At least I was using WebIDs, all the traceability annotations could be stored in LOD repositories and actions could be traced back to the user by using open standards.
Good!
Will this still happen with Google or Facebook?
Already happening on the Facebook side, so Google will eventually follow.
I guess they already track down everything one does. The difference is that they don't publish it but at least they could give access to the user who "generated" that information.
You would think!
Nevertheless, I still want to be able to keep my records of where I browsed, how I browsed, how many scrolls I did on one page, which resources I have uploaded (independently of each website), downloaded, etc. I want to be able to share those resources according to my rules and not by those imposed by local webserver policies and have cross-domain sharing policies so that I can manage my sharing with friends/others in a single/distributed place and not replicated and translated to each website data silo...
Yep! Thus, WebID and ACLs based on Web == Your Best Friend.
For these reasons I think there's still going to be space for envisioned academic uses of semantic web.Facebook and/or Google using WebIDs and linked data in the future? Would help in lots of aspects ;)
They all end up in the right place post effects of opportunity cost. Preaching to behemoths is a waste of time, eating their lunch is a productive and ultimately rewarding pastime at the very least :-)
