This talk was about Link data, and about making data available on the web to everyone. The idea is that too many companies and organizations have data many people can find use full. The idea of link data is Making it available to everyone in a raw form. The way has potential for everyone to be able to share their raw data. This will be data that links to more data. One of his examples discusses working on Alzheimer’s and how all these companies have data in separate specialty areas. Now by linking the data to each other’s data, this will help everyone in the long run find information they one on another area of the disease.
My initial impression was that we already link to everything on the web or try to. Also, that there is a link data system in place. He talked about Wikipedia, and that is what I was picturing. Then he expanded on that by talking about how governments and organizations have all this data they might be holding onto. This data could help people who maybe run companies or students looking for data for an assignment.
I initially choose him, because he was the inventor of HTML, and that he is head of the World Wide Web Consortium. The talk title stated the phrase next web. He was able to show where the next step in online data should be headed.
Three links associated with The Tim Berners-Lee

This is the initial summary of who he is, and his impact on the world wide web. The summary does a great job of talking about his work in the past and the present.

This is probably the most important link for any one working on the web. This site is an international community that works together to develop web standards. Ted Berners-Lee is able to put this link as his homepage.
Name of Link: Inverter Tim Burnes-Lee Biography
