Return on Investment
BestBuy early adopter Launched Semantic Product Web, augmented with
GoodRelations and RDFa, 30% increase in traffic to their pages. (not a scientifically precise experiment!)
Nick Cox@Yahoo! search results augmented with structured data get
15% higher click-through rate

“Productive” Social Machines
It is estimated that 21% of the world’s population uses the World Wide Web And this number is growing as cell phones and mobile
Web technologies become increasingly usable as primary browser platforms
Modern Web sites can handle huge amounts of human time and effort Cf. Facebook reports 4,000,000,000 minutes are spent
on the site every day (> 7500 person/years per day!)• Note: IBM < 7500 person/years per year…
Can we create technologies that make it possible to harness portions of that time and effort to help solve real-world problems?

A vision
Imagine Hundreds of millions of people Effectively able to network together Working with the data archives of science, govts,
NGOs, etc.Working together on the Web
to cure disease, to feed the hungry,and to empower the powerless…
Is this Science Fiction?

Idea 1, do this by accident
Being explored, but how do we make this purposeful?

Web Science: the Theory and Practice of Social Machines
“Computers help if we can use them to create abstract
social machines on the Web… the stage is set for an
evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to
create new forms of social process would be given to the
world at large”
Berners-Lee Weaving the Web 1999

MODEL FOR TECHNO-SOCIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE WEB

Web Science: Motivation
The Web is an engineered space created through formally specified languages and protocols.
Humans are the creators of Web pages and links between them. Their interactions form emergent patterns in the Web at a macroscopic scale.
Human interactions are governed by social conventions and laws.
