Example - Digital Futures O’Reilly, Tim, What is Web 2.0: Design Patterns and Business Models for the Next Generation of Software. Communications & Strategies, No. 1, p.17, First Quarter 2007. Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1008839http://ssrn.com/abstract=1008839 This work originated in a conference between O'Reilly Publishers and MediaLive International, the term was coined in 2004 to described a whole new class of interactive applications that emerged after the dot-com bubble burst in 2001. This paper defines web 2.0 and outlines its key concepts: 1) the web as a platform, 2) harnessing collective intelligence, 3) data is the next Intel inside, 4) end of the software release cycle, 5) lightweight programming models, 6) software above the level of a single device, and 7) rich user experiences. The paper is available in slightly different forms from more than one source. The version on the O’Reilly web site (which is more frequently cited http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html acknowledged as 2005) includes a frequently reproduced meme-map of Web2.0. The term 2.0 has since become part of the currency (although the term read write web is also used) and people are now talking about web 3.0 when they consider developments related to the semantic web and linked data.

Checklist (from ICO) If I'm asked to pass on personal information, would the people about whom I hold information expect me to do this? Am I satisfied the information is being held securely, whether it's on paper or on computer? And what about my website? Is it secure? Do I really need this information about an individual? Do I know what I'm going to use it for? Do the people whose information I hold know that I've got it, and are they likely to understand what it will be used for?
35
Checklist continued Have I trained my staff in their duties and responsibilities under the Data Protection Act, and are they putting them into practice? Do I need to notify the Information Commissioner and if so is my notification up to date? Is access to personal information limited to those with a strict need to know? Am I sure the personal information is accurate and up to date? Do I delete or destroy personal information as soon as I have no more need for it?
