Abstract

In this position paper, we describe our vision of the evolution of the Web: the Active Web. We argue for a phased view of Web evolution, describing some trends seen in development so far. We then describe the social, contentious and dynamic nature of human knowledge and show how this may be developed into a principled road map for Web development. We finish by describing a selection of usage scenarios, providing a view of our intended endpoint for this phase of the development of the Web.
