12. Do youremember web 2.0? 2011-05-26 / Anders Söderbäck, Stockholm universitylibrary

13. Web 2.0 is aboutcontrolling data [Web 2.0] is really about data and who owns and controls, or gives the best access to, a class of data. ... A lot of people still think, "Oh, it's about social networking. It's about blogging. It's about wikis." I think it's about the data that's created by those mechanisms, and the businesses that that data will make possible. - Tim O’Reilly, ”Web 2.0 Is About Controlling Data”,http://bit.ly/bOGCJy 2011-05-26 / Anders Söderbäck, Stockholm universitylibrary

14. Web 2.0 is aboutcontrolling data The Internet business ecosystem can thus be seen as a competition to establish monopolies over various classes of data. ... [Y]ou have to make sure that public data remains public! -Tim O’Reilly, ”Government as Platform”,http://bit.ly/a7gxrM 2011-05-26 / Anders Söderbäck, Stockholm universitylibrary

Summon, Primo Central) Systems depend on aggregations of data License issues are more difficult than technical issues 2011-05-26 / Anders Söderbäck, Stockholm universitylibrary
