Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is hosting a debate on June 11 about the Web’s future and starring a keynote address by Tim Berners-Lee (seen here). Web users from around the world will formulate questions and vote up those — in a Digg-like fashion — that they think should be given priority. Possible topics will include the Semantic Web and the role of politics in the Web’s evolution.
The event will be webcast live and is part of RPI’s celebration of its new Tetherless World Constellation , an academic center focused on Web Science.
Members of the public are invited to submit and vote on questions until the day of the debate. During the discussion, viewers will be able to interact with the panelists by submitting follow-up questions and comments in real time.
