Global Forum Addresses 'Participative Web'
A conference being called the "first-ever international policy forum on the participative Web," or the expanding use of the Internet’s capabilities for creation and exchange, will take place on Oct. 3 in Ottawa, Canada.
The forum, jointly organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and Industry Canada, will ask questions such as: "What does the future hold for the participative Web? What are the implications for enhancing confidence and trust in the Internet? What is the government role in providing the right environment for stimulating Internet innovation and economic growth?"
The event will consider how governments are addressing emerging models for creation and distribution of digital information. "More open approaches to information creation, exchange and diffusion are being taken up extensively in government, education and other areas," OECD stated.
Discussions at the forum will contribute to a planned OECD meeting on "The Future of the Internet Economy" in Seoul, South Korea in June 2008.
