An audio file from David Weinberger's 2009 LITA forum talk on Abundance. I've blogged about Abundance before. I'd rather have a transcript. It's nice to listen, but slow.

More on Linked Data: Linked Data Design note
Tim Berners-Lee linked data design note.
http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
A brief and readable note on linked data from TBL. From 2006, but this makes a nice primer on linked data.
Four rules for linked data:
1. Use URIs as names for things
2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.
3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF, SPARQL)
4. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.

Web of Books
Peter Brantley at Internet Archive has a slide show about BookServer.
http://www.slideshare.net/naypinya/web-of-books
About the dream of open discovery (and use) of ebooks through tools (catalogs) based on OPDS (tech. spec.) and Atom (the XML scheme). Like Stanza, only generalized for any tool.
This would be good . . .

Social Media Strategy Framework
Ron Dawson's social media strategy framewok looks interesting.
http://rossdawsonblog.com/weblog/archives/2009/07/launch_of_socia.html
"The Framework begins with LEARN, follows two streams of ENGAGEMENT and STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT, and comes together in the ongoing imperative to DEVELOP CAPABILITIES.
The five key points for each element are also written below.
LEARN
Use social media yourself
Study relevant case studies
Educate senior executives
Hear from practitioners
Explore the latest trends"
It's not the 10 Commandments, but not a bad set of guidelines.
