Data portability and open data are hot topics these months. The multiplication of social network sites has increased the aggregation of these data in silos. The Semantic Web activity encourages to open your data with a new series of cute logo. Geographical data such as the Open Street Map initiative, government budget such as USA are the trend. But when it comes to our personal data, we need more granularity.

Get Involved!
The Web exists because people wanted to connect to each others and share. They got involved. The first Web site was a kind of blog written by Tim Berners-Lee. People were experimenting, implementing, writing manual and tutorials. Tim was announcing the new servers that you could count each month on your fingers. You too can be part of it.
