emteba

Since quite some time I am coordinating an interesting project, called emteba. emteba is a one-stop portal for emergent technology markets in the following technology fields: Computational Mathematics, Embedded Systems, Semantic Systems, Systems on Chip, Trust in IT-Systems and Visual Computing.

The interesting aspect in emteba is that the site aims to boost of visibility of ICT innovations by a structured processing of data for becoming machine-readable. This means that organisations, researchers, projects, results, etc. being part of emteba are also part of the world wide web of linked data. Through the publication of emteba data in the linking open data cloud, its content will be part of the emerging information ecosystem. The Three Laws of Open Government Data highlight the importance of this new paradigm, as the “second law” states ”If it isn’t available in open and machine readable format, it can’t engage”.

So this is in stark contrast to the ongoing discussions with e.g. facebook, as the users themselves decide how they want to be associated with in the world wide web.
