The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage and process data
Types
 Infrastructure (space & time on external servers)
 Platforms on which to build own applications/apps
 Applications/services with Web browser access
Advantages
 Technology improvements
refocus from technology to collection building; user services and innovation
 Data efficiencies
easy sharing; no local storage, maintenance and backups;
single cataloguing record and version control; cooperative collection building and
preservation; data aggregation
 Community power
Community of information seekers; using the same, shared hardware, software, services and
data lowers the cost and improves information service relevance

5. Natural language search
“My project is ultimately to base search on really understanding what the language
means. When you write an article you’re not creating an interesting collection of
words. You have something to say and Google is devoted to intelligently organising
and processing the world’s information. The message in your article is information,
and the computers are not picking up on that. So we would like to actually have the
computers read. We want them to read everything on the web and every page of
every book, then be able to engage an intelligent dialogue with the user to be able to
answer their questions.” Ray Kurzweil, Google’s director of engineering
‘Where’s the closest café’ – will overtake keyword-based, typed searches like ‘café
Seattle’
Related developments: AI, machine learning/translation, document clustering,
collaborative filtering, semantic web/search.

6. Social activation/crowd-sourcing
- Social activation or crowd-sourcing is the process of obtaining needed services, ideas,
or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, and especially from
an online community, rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. It is based on
the new recommendation economy—where customers avoid traditional advertising,
seeking instead the contextualized recommendations of peers.
- A recent study confirmed that 84% of global respondents trust word-of-mouth
recommendations from friends and family—the most highly rated among digital and
traditional methods.
- Facilitating a social experience between our users should be at the core of what we do!

Smart devices, smart apps, smart
homes, smart cars…
Smartphones will soon be able to:
 predict a consumer’s next move
 predict next purchase
 interpret actions based on an
individual’s data using cognizant
computing.
Business intelligence (BI) will be
embedded in smart systems!
