Title

Web 2.0 - Implications for IT Services

Facilitator

Marieke Guy, UKOLN

Abstract

The Web is changing. It is no longer a phenomenon but has integrated itself within our culture. However for those creating Web services times are far from stable. A wide range of Web-based applications continue to be developed, such as blogs, wikis, podcasting, social networking software, RSS feeds etc. The Semantic Web is still on the cards and now we have Web 2.0, an opportunity for a more sharing, more participative Web? Is it just hype? Will these progressions make any difference to the way in which we go about our work?
In this session Marieke Guy will give an outline of emerging Web developments and discuss the implications for University IT services.
