It could help distribute and re-use important educational resources. These are bold claims, but these are the goals we should be aiming for, and this is why we need the SW to flourish. We can't let a fancy map get in our way.

The SW benefits are further reaching; giving us developers new toys to play with, but also potentially impacting the lives of the other 6 billion people in this world without internet access.

So whilst Web 2.0 is about high-level (user experience) and immediate benefits, the SW is a low-level (data), long-term solution. Users are seeing all this cool, flexible new Web 2.0 stuff, and it's making the SW look even more complex, rigid and unnecessary. Both technologies appear similar to the outside world - share and aggregate data - but Web 2.0 has a pretty interface, and is here and now. And thus the (finite) budgets of organisations are being spent on wikis and blogs, rather than RDF database converters.

Who cares what the back-end uses, or how it does it - just give "Power To The People", quickly and efficiently.
