Reports from Enterprise 2.0

The Enterprise 2.0 conference here in Boston is going strong, with great attendance. Michael Sampson has been blogging up a storm - see his notes on Jeff Stamps' and my keynote today. And here are his  notes on Reports from the Frontier, the workshop we ran today with Sujatha Bodapathi from ProdexNet and Carole Boudinet from Volvo IT. Thanks, Michael, for all the press!

Thanks for the mention of my blog in your keynote. Luddite question: What's Web 2.0? And after you answer that, what will be Web 3.0?

Thanks for the mention of my blog in your keynote.

Welc, but to be accurate, I mentioned your hospital as an example of the next rev of enterprises (2.0). Reason? Your ascent up Transparency Mountain, which seems key to open architecture for organizations.

What's Web 2.0?

When I first heard this term abt a year ago from Mike Wing of IBM, I immediately felt out of it again :). But, it turns out that you and I are it -- your blog, my obsession with computer conferencing (now wikis), all the social networking sites. Anything where users generate the content.

And after you answer that, what will be Web 3.0?

John Markoff, NY Times, Nov. 12, '06, tackled this quite well: "Their goal is to add a layer of meaning on top of the existing Web that would make it less of a catalog and more of a guide — and even provide the foundation for systems that can reason in a human fashion." In short, it's the semantic web, what we're all waiting for. Wikipedia's take.
