Ralph Rivera: Building Digital Public Space8, 2011

Ralph Rivera is the BBC's new Director of Future Media. He's in Oxford today addressing a seminar to open the new office of the W3C, the web's standards-setting body. Later we'll publish a fuller blog post by Ralph but, in the meantime, here's his presentation.

The seminar began with a presentation by the web's inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, entitled Future Directions of the Web. Speakers from Vodafone, Microsoft and the Oxford Internet Institute are also present. The hashtag is #W3CUKI.

Steve Bowbrick is editor of About the BBC

Wired UKcovered Ralph's speech, focusing on the value of the BBC's digital content to the UK economy. Ralph made a speech on a similar theme at The Guardian's Chaning Media conference earlier this year.

The more interesting question (with ref. to slide 5) is - if I decided to turn the Internet off and turned it back on after the obligatory pause-to-panic moment, how would I change it? What would it do and how would it support me better?
