Realizing the Potential of the Semantic Web
http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/features/tbliview.htm

World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee says the Semantic Web is "a key to realizing the potential of the Web… The library community has historically seen the Semantic Web as primarily about metadata. While that is important, it is only one aspect of the larger picture. There is financial data, chemical data, biotechnology data, experimental data, geographic data and more. All of these domains have their own vocabularies, with few explicit points of connection. The Semantic Web is aimed at bridging those gaps, and allowing links across fields… To the extent that data can be encoded in common syntaxes like RDF [Resource Description Framework] and described with public vocabularies, they can be more accessible and more useful... Perhaps nowhere in the academic environment is this more important than the area of scholarly communication." But Berners-Lee warns that there are several impediments to be overcome before the benefits of the Semantic Web can be realized: "We currently lack an ethos for reliable Web publication. We need a closer connection between the technology and the institutional commitments necessary to maintain persistent identifiers and namespaces. We need a realignment of legal constraints and recognition of fair use within the context of the new digital infrastructure. We need to avoid as far as possible the constraints of patents or monopoly at any of the layers of the infrastructure. We also need to sustain the open connectivity -- the linking among people, organizations, data and ideas -- that drive the growth and diversity of the Web."

Realizing There's Broadband In South
Korea 07/28/2004 06:22 AM
For quite a while, many in the broadband and wireless industries have known that the place to go look at the future of those technologies is South Korea (much more than Japan). It appears that the press is finally catching on. News.com has a detailed profile of the broadband situation in Korea, and pointing out some of the lessons the US can learn from the situation there (basically: build a faster network and get out of the way -- people will figure out how to use it, and use it well). Somewhat surprisingly, the article barely touches on what South Korea has been doing in the wireless space, but that's just as (if not, more) interesting. Maybe next time, when News.com has a collection of articles on wireless instead of broadband, they'll hit that point as well.

Musicians Realizing They Have More To

Musicians Realizing They Have More To
Sell Than Just Music 07/06/2004 05:27 AM
Last year, for Good Morning Silicon Valley I wrote up a possible business model that encouraged free file sharing, with the core of the idea being that musicians offered a lot more to people than just the music on their CD. By seeing the music itself as a promotional item for other products, they could encourage more people to download their music for free, while still making money. It appears a few others are starting to get this idea, and while we've posted links to a few music labels like Magnatune and Loca that seem to get it somewhat, this New York Times article about ArtistShare suggests some musicians are really catching on. While most of the article focuses on how ArtistShare cuts out many of the middlemen, there are a couple of paragraphs that note that much of the focus is on letting the free downloadable music encourage people to sign up for much, much more -- such as "access to printed scores, rehearsal sessions, interviews, post-concert question-and-answer sessions and commentaries." Another musician offers an online music lesson. What's fascinating is that for the jazz artist most discussed in the piece, Maria Schneider, her fans are spending an average of $53 -- much more than they would spend on a CD. Also, much of that money goes directly to her, rather than to the record company. Now, the problem with this model still, is that it's small time, and there's no publicity included. So, none of the musicians are getting as much attention. However, they are getting more money, and that's a start. If more musicians realize they can start actually making money this way, then it may force more record labels to embrace this type of model -- while including promotions in the package.

Musicians Realizing They Don't Need
Record Labels To Sell Online

Musicians Realizing They Don't Need
Record Labels To Sell Online 01/26/2004 06:27 PM
Lots of people have realized for quite some time that the recording industry isn't so much the "recording" industry, but rather the "CD distribution" industry. Their entire focus is on how to sell more tangible items that have music on it. That's part of the reason why they've had so much trouble figuring out the whole online music business. There's no tangible "thing" for them to sell, so it doesn't make sense to them. Now, however, it appears that some musicians are beginning to figure this out as well... and, as part of that, realizing they don't really need the record labels if they want to sell music online. Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno are launching a musician's "alliance" that would help musicians sell their music directly online without any record label involvement. It's an interesting idea, but it seems a little short on details at this point. Record labels are waking up to the fact that they need to do something about online music, even if they're not quite sure what that thing is. As such, expect them to do their best to lock up the digital rights to music from musicians as well. This isn't a problem if musicians want to ditch record labels altogether, but the labels are useful for promotional purposes. If the musicians can figure out a way to do that without the traditional record labels, then they're all set.

Software Companies Realizing The
Benefits Of User Exchanges

Software Companies Realizing The
Benefits Of User Exchanges 06/10/2004 09:49 AM
Proprietary software companies are still experimenting with "open source-like" offerings to try to improve their own products. A few months back we wrote about the softwar e cooperative idea - which was basically open source software for companies that only members could share. Since it cost $30,000 to become a member it was more like open source with a $30,000 entrance fee. Meanwhile, many proprietary software companies have been doing quite well setting up "user exchanges" where their end users can trade modifications and add-ons to their software for free. The companies that do this have found it beneficial in many ways - since they get a core group of loyal users who are generating improvements on their software. However, many companies are apparently shying away from such exchanges, worried that (a) they'll detract from commercial add-on development or (b) it opens them up to legal liability if such a third party add-on causes problems. The companies that rely heavily on these exchanges (including IBM, Adobe and Macromedia) insist they've had no problems - and that the benefits have been well worth it. This is yet another case where some companies realize the value of something that's "free" when it's viewed as an input resource, rather than an end-product.

IBM Agrees To Expense Options

IBM Agrees To Expense Options 04/06/2005 02:16 PM
Just a few months before being required to, IBM is saying that they, too, will join with some other companies in agreeing to expense stock options. Once again, this whole debate seems sort of silly. For most companies, the idea of expensing stock options is pointless. The expense will be a made up number, and won't accurately reflect anything when it shows up on the income statement (the details of stock option plans are already available in financial statements -- just not as an expense). However, those who seem to be claiming that this will be the end of startups are probably overreacting as well. Most folks on Wall Street are smart enough to understand how the change in the accounting rules impacts the company's bottom line, and since this doesn't change the cash position of the company in any real way it shouldn't really impact much of anything. Certainly, a few companies will want to get rid of, or offer fewer, stock options -- but other methods of compensating employees for taking risks will become more popular, or companies will realize that the increased expense on their income statement really doesn't matter that much in the long term when the benefit is that they can attract better talent.
