Abstract

Many people think that the Web has revolutionised the lives of researchers and academics, but to a large extent it has failed. This seminar will demonstrate where it has fizzled out, explain some of the work that we are engaged in to fan the flames again and and seek to re-ignite the explosive potential that the web architecture provides.
