Web 2.0 Framework from Ross Dawson
Lately I’ve been collecting links to blog posts which help me understand more of what Web 2.0 is about, where some of the key developments are taking place, and what a more Web 2.0 world might look like.
But for a person who loves words and having things explained in words, I am also a sucker for a good spatial explanation, a diagram.
Preferably a diagram with pictures.
So it was a thrill to receive in my email last night a message from Ross Dawson, strategy consultant, speaker, best-selling author and Chairman of the Future Exploration Network, with a link to the post on his site, Launching the Web 2.0 Framework, with the graphic displayed below and a detailed explanation.
As well as this and other great graphics - including the Web 2.0 Landscape graphic with some helpful segmentation of technologies - Ross supplies an extensive set of definitions and explanations of Web 2.0 characteristics, technologies and domains. To pull all the threads together, he offers the following definition of Web 2.0:
”Distributed technologies built to integrate, that collectively transform mass participation into valuable emergent outcomes.”
Ross has helpfully supplied all this material under a Creative Commons licence, which allows the rest of us, with appropriate attribution and link back, to use and build on the material.
This framework goes in my Web 2.0 key resources folder, along with Kathleen Gilroy’s white paper which I wrote about here last year.
