Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web: Implications for Future HEP Web Applications

<!--HTML--> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://cern.ch/cseminar/CDS/style.css" /> <p>Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web represent two of the interesting directions in which Web technology is evolving. Web 2.0 focusses on a 'user-centric' Web with strong emphasis on community and re-use while the Semantic Web presents a rigorous 'data-centric' model. In this talk Bebo will describe these technologies and speculate on how they might be utilized in high-energy physics Web applications and services. Specific strategies and implementation models will be provided and discussed. <h4>About the Speaker:</h4> <p>Bebo White is a Departmental Associate (retired) at SLAC and has spent considerable time at CERN.
