He contacted them and after a while, was back in, but the problem is obvious: social websites, and the companies running them, have one capital on their stock: data created by us. As &#8220;we&#8221; were &#8220;man of the year&#8221; in Time, the data of such a celebrity is worth a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Scoble joined <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dataportability.org\/\">dataportability.org<\/a> (DP) and blogged this, which made me curious to also look at their site and add a few notes about how RDF and Semantic Web may help them out instead of creating their own standards. <br \/>\nNow that people working for Plaxo, Google, and Facebook join the already impressive list of individuals at dataportability, they can really talk about the mission<br \/>\n<cite> To put all existing technologies and initiatives in context to create a reference design for end-to-end Data Portability. To promote that design to the developer, vendor and end-user community.<\/cite><\/p>\n<p>My biggest fear was, that the standards created by DP were used-less as no big companies were present in their board (not like W3C, where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/Consortium\/Member\/List\">nearly all big companies are onboard<\/a>). This has changed now and I would expect that the effort indeed now is relevant to the future of the web.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A storm-in-a-waterglass gathering more and more momentum, dataportability.org welcomes new members.
