- <p>The DCC has assembled a group of briefing papers that together form an introduction to curation. These concise overviews are designed to help grow your basic understanding of key curation issues by providing a high-level introduction to a given topic.</p> <p>The term 'Web 2.0' refers to a way of thinking about networked communications; a collaborative and social way of working underpinned by the key concept of the Web (rather than the desktop) as a platform. Web 2.0 is characterised by data sharing, personalised data consumption, Web-based communities, and Web-hosted services and applications. Examples of typical Web 2.0 technologies are social networks, media-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, social bookmarking, folksonomies, syndicated content (RSS) and Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).</p> <p>The term was coined in 2004 by Dale Dougherty, a vice-president of O'Reilly Media. As the concept has matured, along with the development of Web technologies and standards, it is having a significant impact on distributed infrastructure and applications, and on the way users and developers interact. Web 2.0 maximises the potential of various ideas about networked communication including contribution (user-generated content), collaboration over networks, community participation ('the power of the crowd'), data on an enormous scale, combining datasets (e.g. mashups), and open sharing.</p> <p>The concepts behind Web 2.0 can change approaches to research; increasing access to data and expertise, creatively combining data to produce new knowledge, and encouraging large scale participation and personalisation. However, alongside these benefits to researchers, goes a challenge for the curation of large, complex, and dynamic data.</p>
