BT advert from 2002 illustrating the power of connecting to find answers

at the 2nd meeting of the Knowledge Hub advisory group, we asked people to map how they would use the Knowledge Hub (imagining that it's everything they wanted it to be) to satisfy their knowledge and information needs around a popular, complex LAA target. (In one case, NI 111 - first time entrants to the youth justice system and NI 39 hospital admissions due to alcohol related harm).

Common Tag is an open tagging format developed to make content more connected, discoverable and engaging. Unlike free-text tags, Common Tags are references to unique, well-defined concepts, complete with metadata and their own URLs. With Common Tag, site owners can more easily create topic hubs, cross-promote their content, and enrich their pages with free data, images and widgets.

Presentation from Knowledge Hub Conference 1st March 2011

We dream of a world where all social networks are connected and work together in a way similar to email. Our projects aims to define a language to bridge these networks and make it easy for social networks to join a bigger social web. You're invited to help make this a reality.

Linked data is a powerful approach to sharing information across the web. It is enabling governments to publish their data to better inform and empower citizens, enabling companies to connect information across silos to aid decision making, and enabling developers to combine data from across organizations to deliver better services. As experts in all aspects of linked data, Epimorphics can enable you to get the most out of your data assets - help you model, publish and exploit them.

The means to connect social networks and software applications together have existed for years but haven't been very open or useful enough to reach critical mass. That's been changing as OpenSocial has continued to doggedly improve and mature. The latest version has a chance to go mainstream, the question is if users will find the features compelling enough to use.
