Ok I think I understand the concepts here and my first thought is ‘Wow that sounds useful’ and my second though is ‘That sounds like a security night mare!’ I definitely think it’s possible technologically to mix multiple bits of data like bank statements with calendars as described on the ‘WC3 Semantic Web Activity’ page http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/. However it would involve data sharing across non- related organisations like my bank and the people who created the online calendar for me to over lay my bank statements onto. Or even my water or electric bill with my calendar (was I actually at home in order to be using so much water on that day they say I was???? I guess it would also be an excellent tool for accountability.)
So that’s a Yes to “Is it possible?” but a maybe to “are we ready for it ?”. I’ll be watching to see what happens but probably slow to follow the flow.
