SLA Europe Webinar - Solid: An Ecology of Digital Being
What if we could have all our digital artifacts and records in one place, a place of our own? Not scattered across platforms, or harvested by third-party machine applications?
This talk is about Solid (Social Linked Data) and our digital footprint, and the implications for librarians and information professionals.
Solid is an exciting web decentralization project led by Professor Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, taking place at MIT. The project “aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy” with the project’s main goal to allow users to have full control of their own data, including access control and storage location. Solid has developed a platform for linked-data applications that are completely decentralized and fully under users’ control, instead of being controlled by other companies/organisations.
