- Value [1] Decentralization
- The World Wide Web scales because its architecture is decentralized. There are (mainly) no central bottlenecks physically,
socially or conceptually. This group takes this architecture in two directions: where the web architecture could be improved,
we look at even more scalable architectures which remove the remaining centralized constraints (such as the social and technical
constraints around the domain name system), and we take build on top of the existing web a Semantic Web of self-describing
data which allows machine processing across the boundaries of applications and organizations.
- Value [2] Open Source
- Consistent with the Semantic Web's overall goal of promoting open access to knowledge and computing resources, DIG works with
open source tools and produces open source code based on open, publicly specified standards.
