The Intentional Web Initiative

What if we create a web of intentions to organize the web?

The intentional web initiative sets out to find solutions to empower site visitors with new tools to better define their intentions.
 
This website documents new innovations that have been created to further this initiative.

The Intentional Web is:

  • Knowledge gathered about information from a specific viewpoint for a specific purpose (Otavo)
  • Sites that evolve based on the needs of its visitors
  • Standards that foster re-purposing of content (eg. Microformats, Dublin Core)
  • Browsers that support user activities beyond simple browsing & RSS parsing (eg. Flock)

The Intentional Web is not:

  • Raw static information
  • AI based information retrieval
  • Robot indexed information
