Web 2.0: a definition• Term coined by Tim O’Reilly in
2004 to describe next generation of Web companies and applications
• O’Reilly defines Web 2.0 with examples
• The name is arguably misleading– implying a designed version and
discrete evolution– but it’s a useful term
• Some people prefer the term: The Social Web
• Web 2.0 really describes latest trends in web applications emphasising interaction, community and openness.

Web 2.0: key features
• Participation – get involved!– Upload your own content – Tagging– Collections (Groups, Playlists, etc.)– Comments and Ratings– Just browsing adds value (Most Popular)
• Identity is important (provenance)– Recommendations (People like you liked…)– Social Networks (People like you are…)
How can we apply these principles to LO
repositories?
