Extractions: Main This article was originally written for Message Until recently, few people had heard of web site accessibility. However due in a large part to the work of the RNIB , the subject of web accessibility has hit mainstream. From industry magazines to the BBC , the topic of website accessibility is starting to enter the collective consciousness. However there is still a great deal of misunderstanding surrounding the issue of web accessibility. In this article I hope to give a brief outline about exactly what web accessibility is, and then explain how building an accessible website can have a positive impact on your business, both in terms of PR and ROI. Simply put, web site accessibility is about making a site accessible to the largest range of people possible. For the majority of website owners, this is simply good business sense. After all, the more people you have using your site the better. At It's core, making a website accessible involves removing potential barriers to access. Luckily the people in charge of setting standards on the web have provided designers with the basic tools to remove these barriers. However old habits are hard to break, and many designers are still building sites that can cause problems for a variety of individuals.

E-Business & The Intelligent Web Where will be the biggest ebusiness pay-offs from using intelligent web technology? How might the intelligent web miss the e-business boat? http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~apreece/ebiweb/
Extractions: WORKSHOP CONTEXT Two trends appear likely to transform the web as we move further into the 21st century: (1) The e-business community is creating new infrastructures to support high-level business-to-business and business-to-consumer activities on the web. (2) The so-called "semantic web" movement is developing a range of proposals aimed at supporting intelligent information-seeking and information-management operations over the web. In the first trend, the main foci are on defining a new generation of electronic data interchange protocols, mostly based on XML (prominent initiatives include BizTalk, eCo, OASIS, and RosettaNet) and on creating new kinds of e-business services such as agent-mediated b2b e-commerce, and knowledge-driven customer relationship management. In the second trend, the emphasis is on enriching the web's data markup languages with knowledge representation features, to permit inference over the content of web pages (prominent initiatives include DAML, OIL, and RDF). Goals include the production of: internet-scale inference mechanisms, knowledge markup languages, and active information-seeking services. Viewed from a high level, these trends seem well-matched: semantic processing of web content has the potential to widen the scope of e-business hugely, while e-business provides a major application for the intelligent web. However, a closer look suggests that the two trends may not be moving towards a harmonious marriage! It is possible that the e-business community may adopt standards ill-suited to supporting semantic processing, and it is equally possible that the intelligent web proposals may not meet the real needs of e-business.

Extractions: Richard: There's been a bit of discussion amongst bloggers recently about monetizing weblogs - making money off one's Web content. This of course has long been a dream for Website producers - content is king, but how to make money from it? Most commercial publishing businesses have used subscription models to do that, including your company (e.g. Safari Bookshelf ). But with bloggers and other independent content creators, perhaps advertising and sponsorships are better avenues for them to explore. Where do you see the future of Web 2.0 for content creators, in terms of making money from their content? "In the early days, a publisher had to do everything...now there are lots of cooperating players, making the job a lot easier." Tim: Back in 1995, in the early days of the Web, I wrote an article called Publishing Models for Internet Commerce . It was based on the idea that publishing can give us a lot of insight into how the Internet is going to play out. The lesson I drew from publishing is there's not a single business model. There are countless, overlapping business models - from marginal to very successful - in a really rich ecosystem. Take for example, in the US your kids may come home from school with this thing: "Hey, buy magazine subscriptions and you will support our school". There's some company that uses school children to market magazine subscriptions! And there's something else called
