A Perspective on Location Services, Mobile Entrepreneurship & Startup Life

“The essential process in webizing is to take a system which is designed as a closed world, and then ask what happens when it is considered as part of an open world. Practically, this effect on a computer language is to replace the names/tokens/identifiers for URIs.  Thus, where before reference could only be made to something in the same document/program/module one can with equal ease make reference to something in a different one somewhere in that abstract space which is the Web.”

– Tim Berners-Lee, “Webizing existing systems“
