QR book to Web application: live

QR Library application -- this is very homemade, very "beta" -- actually very "delta".

I've described it before: QR code slapped on a book, a patron uses their phone to snap a pic, QR pic takes them to whatever online resource you want them to see.

Here's an example:
Imagine you've just picked up this book in the library, "Chess and the Art of Negotiation", and noticed a QR barcode on it.


You use your gizmo (to which you have already loaded Semacode or Kaywa, etc.) to load the barcode and are taken here:

Hosted resources -- online forums, chess resources, similar books, available e-books, etc. etc. Plus a place for patron comments, so they can add resources you hadn't yet found/ thought of / or approved.

This is a "proof of concept". Sorry I can't give the direct URL yet. Hope you'll work up something like this on your own.

just good history on the social development on the web

Here's a really good presentation on webs 1-3 by Sabin Buraga:

library 4.0 is

By and by, I now venture this:

Library 4.0 is when libraries don't truck in books anymore, as we know books now. Library 4.0 is the library after the widespread integration of smart objects and the "Internet of Things". Post semantic web. When atoms start schlepping usable bits.

Library 5.0 is a nonsensical term at present. So you can talk about previous library 'versions' up to 4.0 rationally, but beyond that we start to slip into the ontological bleed of the techno-social singularity.

Back to work.

web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0; presentations too

This is neat and tidy (though I don't agree with it completely):


Lots of other stuff there on 3.0 -- some slideshares and discussion.

In the above, we've got widget hosting services (iGoogle, etc.) as part of a 3.0 scheme... these belong still in Web 2.0. Mid-to-late 2.0 developments. Don't nobody jump too quick. For the barest beginnings of yr semantic Web world, look to WolframAlpha. But that's the thing with all this -- we can't, on our blogs or in our magazine articles or books, decree what Web 3.0 is or will be or ought to be. These 'versions' of the Web get defined slowly, building up like coral. Folks do stuff, that stuff is cool, that cool stuff gets popular, the way folks use the Web changes, then we all look back and say "wow -- that's Web x.x"!
