      Mark Zuckerberg, a journalist was asking him a question about the news feed. And the journalist was asking him, "Why is this so important?" And Zuckerberg said, "A squirrel dying in your front yard may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa." And I want to talk about what a Web based on that idea of relevance might look like. So when I was growing up in a really rural area in Maine, the Internet meant something very different to me. It meant a connection to the world. It meant something that would connect us all together. And I was sure that it was going to be great for democracy and for our society. But there's this shift in how information is flowing online, and it's invisible. And if we don't pay attention to it, it could be a real problem. So I first noticed this in a place I spend a lot of time -- my Facebook page. I'm progressive, politically -- big surprise -- but I've always gone out of my way to meet conservatives. I like hearing what they're thinking about; I like seeing what they link to; I like learning a thing or two. And so I was surprised when I noticed one day that the conservatives had disappeared from my Facebook feed. And what it turned out was going on was that Facebook was looking at which links I clicked on, and it was noticing that, actually, I was clicking more on my liberal friends' links than on my conservative friends' links. And without consulting me about it, it had edited them out. They disappeared. So Facebook isn't the only place that's doing this kind of invisible, algorithmic editing of the Web. Google's doing it too. If I search for something, and you search for something, even right now at the very same time, we may get very different search results. Even if you're logged out, one engineer told me, there are 57 signals that Google looks at -- everything from what kind of computer you're on to what kind of browser you're using to where you're located -- that it uses to personally tailor you

  • The number of influential libraries publishing their metadata onto the web as linked open data, which is the heart of the Semantic Web, is growing
  • many librarians at major institutions have recognized that a key to the bibliographic future lies in migrating their data out of library silos and into an open, global pool of shared data.
  • the linked data cloud is seen as the most promising way to ensure that library data remains accessible and reusable
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • "If libraries are to retain their role as curators of the intellectual products of society, their assets must be part of that search stream."
  • web entities such as DBpedia, which offers a Semantic Web mirror of Wikipedia
  • libraries have begun to reconceptualize metadata and publish it on the web using linked data technologies, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) language and its extensions OWL, SKOS, and SPARQL.
  • library metadata is formatted and linked in RDF, then library content will surface more prominently in web search results
  • Recommendations from W3CThe report is still being finalized but the draft recommends that libraries:
  • — create web addresses using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as globally unique, web-compatible identifiers for the resources (any kind of object or concept) they manage and the metadata elements they use
  • — develop library data standards that are compatible with linked data
  • — use their expertise in metadata management to become full partners
  • — foster a discussion about open data and rights.
  • — explore using libraries' ethos of quality control in the curation and long-term preservation of linked data datasets and vocabularies.
  • "As the shared understanding expands, the benefits of publishing linked data are becoming clearer,"
