Our relationships define us

The semantic web is about connections. We are defined by our relationships on different levels (with things, with people, with topics). Both offline and online we constantly enter and exit static and dynamic relationships, creating open systems of new or existing contexts, connections and meanings.

The beauty of this expanding interconnectedness is that we are its creators. We are the poets of networks, communities, hubs of shared values and interests.  It is in this poiesis of relationships that new threads emerge, forming new shapes, and enriching the environment with newly connected dots.

Fortunately, the web allows more and more for precisely these connections to be represented and considered within the context of our behaviour and interactions.

The Project Solid as a Road Assembling Itself on the Go

November 6, 2018 by Teodora Petkova

The Linked Data social ecosystem Solid is a work in progress. So are its UX and UI. Roads assembling themselves on the go. But let’s face it, isn’t our  own understanding of how we use, curate and give our data on the Web one that is still shaping and evolving? One that needs reassessing andContinue Weaving

My Brave New Text

The Brave New Text  is a book about web writing and how it transforms the way we communicate, exchange, experience and explore thoughts, ideas, goods. It is a kaleidoscope of perspectives through which you will see texts on the web, as new forms of textuality, as webs themselves, as processes that change us, word by word, link by link.
