In keeping with my last posts about future developments in LCMS's, I've decided to blog about new CMS directions. The methods that are employed now are certain to change based on a few current trends. Shirky speaks on the topic mentioning that more and more closed schools and companies will eventually open up to accept looser networks increasing collaboration. This was kind of what was talked about in last week's blog, too, with the introduction to SCORM which sets standards for collections of networks.
A 'semantic web' is the idea that data held in separate networks, like say bank accounts or calendars can be merged and shared across multiple applications (Herman, 2009). We can already see how this has already taken place. For example, I have all of my financial accounts: checking, savings, credit card, retirement, mortgage, and student loans all going through a website called mint.com . This is a good example of a current web semantic website. Data mining and even personalization of video content on youtube are other examples of how the web takes data from documents. I'm sure with new developments in technology, this process will become more effective and streamlined.
