Information Futures • Current Information Productivity: 1-2 Exabytes of information per annum (1 exabyte = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes or 1018 bytes) • 250 megabytes for every man, woman and child on Earth • 5 exabytes equals every word ever spoken by human beings! We could have an information problem – but fortunately printed documents of all types comprise only .003% of this! (http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/how-much-info)

The power of users in the network • Open Access – it’s not who pays, it’s who stores • P2P – changing the practices of powerful supplies • E-Learning and e-Teaching – and trading the results • The democratisation of publishing – we are all content generators now PURL – distraction, or the user’s intermediaries and their power struggle

The dilemma of the search engines … frustration is sending the user to a web site, and then having him search it for any references to the search subject – in vain … Google Yahoo! (Overture) Secure, itemised information Value add … the more you search, the more (inaccurate, out of date, irrelevant information you find … … so you need to crawl secure, itemized information and add value to it to create a real degree of search satisfaction … Microsoft MSN? “… there is no B2C, or B2B – just B2U” …
What do we need to make our vision work? • Certainty of recall • Demonstrable authenticity of recalled object • Effective relationship mapping and multi-linking • Organised metadata as primary level content management This is the promise that DOI must deliver
