The Decentralized Information Group explores technical, institutional and public policy questions necessary to advance the development of global, decentralized information environments.
Based at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Decentralized Information Group is lead by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. DIG includes researchers who are leaders in technology and public policy domains. DIG's work is closely coordinated with the activities of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the international standards-setting organization for the World Wide Web.
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.
