Re: Directories of Projects to Webize

"We do need a name we can stick to. ;)"

Semantic-Web <- sounds too AI, unrealistic until machine-learning deployed widely at client-level?
Linked-Data <- referring to serializations & data-model not entire platform
Read-Write-Web <- is this not the current name?

you can read+write to just about any website though, save for luddite geocities-freaks who are still serving files via Apache and writing to them only via FTP/Rsync/SCP,

but you'll need to reverse-engineer large mounds of obfuscated&minized JS with FireBug/WebkitDevtools or mitmproxy+tshark, and emulate their usage of ad-hoc site-specific APIs, over and over ..

thus, borrowing nomenclature from Complex Math, these solutions which while "on the web" are not "on the read-write web" since the "web" part of the name implies a shared/unified way of doing writes, and related offshoots like identity + auth(orize|enticate)

IRWW . Imaginary Read-Write Web . just link your "app" to liboursitedata.jar and you can read+write. we swear it's a "website" (the URL is https://api.liboursite.com) even though only accessible w/ SPDY, not HTTP 0 and only outputs JSON, not HTML, and uses our homebrew auth system. this ensures the smoothest user-experience, as determined by highly-paid UI consultants
RRWW . Real Read-Write Web . stample/ldphp/other-newcomers

so it's no longer the triple-W, but the double-RW - WWW RW + POSIX+RW underneath in most cases, unless you're a hyper anti-luddite who exclusively use RAM-only blobstores having abolished the filesystem to antiquity
