ACTION: Complete http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/InvitedGuestSummaries Dave Raggett - Meeting on September 16th 2009 W3C Fellow, Dave Raggett, presented some slides, entitled "New Directions for the Web". He covered a number of topics including, delegation, the Web of Things, privacy and context. The general feeling was that we have a number of technologies to tackle these issues, such as P3P, OpenID and Oauth, however that the field was still very much in its infancy. Dave is also part of the W3C Context Awareness and Personalisation Working Group, which follows on from the Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group, and aims to create patterns and ontologies for dealing with context and personalization, on the web. Moving on to questions, Dave suggested that it would be advantageous to have liaison between groups, so that we can try to achieve a unified vision. He thought that privacy was perhaps a more key issue than identity, and that we should learn lessons about usability from existing projects such as P3P, looking at what works, and more importantly what doesn't. For example usability was a drawback for P3P, which prevented it reaching its full potential. On privacy, new cryto techniques such as Zero Knowledge Proofs should also be examined. One key aim suggested was to prevent vocabulary fragmentation, for example, the Delivery Context Ontology could be mapped with others in the area, however we use tools such as Protege, but this is an area where we should aim to be become more collaborative, and ideally the toolset should evolve accordingly.
