The Web - What is the issue?
Last week I gave an invited presentation in the nice library of the Royal Society of Chemistry, at the What's in a Name? The Unsung Heroes of Open Innovation: Nomenclature and Terminology meeting. I was asked to speak about HTML in this context, something I have worked with as channel for communication of scientific knowledge and data for almost 20 years know. Mostly in the area of small molecules, starting with the Dictionary of Organic Chemistry, which is interesting because I presented the web technologies behind this project also in London, October 10 years ago!
As a spoiler, the bottom line of my presentation is that we're not even using 10% of what the web technologies have to offer us. Slowly we are getting there, but too slow in my opinion.
