Fundamentally, you need a Identifiers and a Profile documents controlled by users for the Web to work. Failing to make this shift will simply continue to challenge the Web & Internet for the worse. The world is already in shock re. Brexit and recent US Elections (all real examples of how Web 2.0 has affected society as we know it). Issues of concern are building up rapidly and their effects on society are becoming more profound by the second: 1. Verifiable Identity controlled by users (rather than service providers) -- Privacy issue 2. Structured Metadata comprehensible to Search Engines -- SERPs issue which also affects "Fake News" Links: [1] https://medium.com/virtuoso-blog/web-logic-sentences-and-the-magic-of-being-you-e2a719d01f73#.aboqar22m -- Conceptual overview (with a working example) of WebID+TLS+Delegation [2] https://medium.com/openlink-software-blog/verifiable-identity-controlled-by-you-at-web-scale-3d66399cb114#.oiyf67k2v - Showcases a new WebID Extension for Chrome, Opera, Firefox etc..
