The document is a presentation about Semantic Web 3.0 given by Erica Van Lieven at the Festival of NewMR from December 6-10, 2010. It discusses how the Semantic Web leverages the wealth of online data with computers' increasingly sophisticated thinking power. Several slides provide examples of the growth of websites like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook to illustrate the explosion of online data and connectivity. The presentation raises questions about whether the research industry has missed opportunities with open data and if the art of asking questions is still required. It also debates the privacy risks versus societal benefits and how this affects ethical guidelines.
