Description
The linking together of documents to make a global hypertext document (the World Wide Web) took us from an information-scarce society to one of information overload. It changed the context of learners’ relationships with information, and formal education has struggled to catch up.[4] This session is about the changes brought by the web of semantic knowledge and their consequences. Resources that used to be difficult to create will now be easy, yet the skills of critical appreciation of data are no easier to acquire. Data, intelligently arranged, allow learners to explore different kinds of space: a map, a timeline, or a family tree are obvious examples, but there are more abstract kinds of space: spheres of influence, organisational structures, fictional worlds. This session is about the opportunities and issues of the web of knowledge, with some real examples and a glimpse of a future in which open, semantic technologies are more widespread.

Here is the proof-of-concept app I’m building to explore Eastern and Asian Art via items in a museum, bringing in Wikipedia extracts and other sources to provide context.
