Web 2.0 and repositories

June 11, 2008 · No Comments

Andy Powell, who did the opening keynote for VALA, has just uploaded his 38 slide slideset from a presentation yesterday, distilling and simplifying what he was talking about in February.
His main points are:
  • Repository architecture focusses inward on storage and preservation, not outward on access
  • An outward focus would “sell” the concept to people who have to put their stuff in it
  • Two interesting ways to develop
      • Web 2.0 - simplify and be more like slideshare.net
      • Semantic Web - add more complex metadata structures for more intuitive retrieval.

The slides are here: Web 2.0 and repositories - have we got our repository architecture right?
