DESCRIPTION:The World Wide Web, built upon the foundations of the Internet, has been 
 the most significant technological development within recent history, 
 sparking a global reformulation of capitalism and resistance. The Web is 
 defined as a "universal information space" by its inventor Tim Berners-Lee 
 of the W3C, paralleling the universal scope of politics today as recently 
 noted by Hardt and Negri. While its effects have been scrutinized, the 
 governance and history of the Web itself has received little inquiry.  The 
 evolution of these governing networks, including the recent hegemony of 
 Google and Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the Semantic Web (a term first used 
 by Foucault), yet remains a hidden history. However, with the increased 
 dependence on these networks by humanity, the survival of an open Web in 
 the era of climate change and generalized ecological crisis is of utmost 
 importance, for the very survival of humanity will require a open-ended 
 global communications infrastructure.\n\nHarry Halpin is a researcher in 
 the School of Informatics  at the University of Edinburgh and visiting 
 fellow at Duke University in Interdisciplinary Studies. He works primarily 
 with artificial intelligence and the Web through the World Wide Web 
 Consortium, the "United Nations" of the Web that governs standards like XML 
 and XHTML. He is the Chair of the GRDDL W3C Working Group and a member of 
 the W3C Semantic Web Co-ordination Group. His has published widely at 
 intersection of the Web, artificial intelligence, philosophy of the mind, 
 and computational linguistics.\n
