I have had a similar idea about the future of the Web. Instead of navigating to websites that give you both data and presentation, how about sites that only give you data adhering to a defined convention. Then you can consume this data in a common ui and visualization platform that can merge data from various sources for you and answer questions and visualize info on the fly.
- jkaptur 8y agoWhat convention did you have in mind?
- rhencke 8y agoWe can create a language for it. It could be like HTML, using tags, but extensible, and the author could declare the schema of the information. You could even mix data from different schemas in the same document, using something like namespaces. Like, some kind of extensible markup language, almost.
- snaky 8y agoHow could you build advertising into the data?
- nerdponx 8y agoHm sounds reasonable. There can be a standardized markup language, maybe like a simplified SGML or something?
- jackfraser 8y agoHahaha, right? You're just going to rediscover the same path that lead us here to start with.
- wes-k 8y agoSounds like RSS and Atom.
