Data interoperability and Open Standards so that people who own the data have control.
Planetwork has been working on this for a while - we published the Augemented Social Network white paper in 2003 about the vision of the Social Web. Members of our community have been involved in the development of and the first implementations of two Open Standards at OASIS (one of the three internet standards bodies - IETF and W3C being the others). eXtensible Resource Identifier XRI and XRI Data Interchange XDI. Datasharing creates the Data Web. Boeing and Visa are involved in these efforts along with civil society interested parties. (xri) i-names is a namespace for people and organizations governed by XDI.org. The first major implementation is being done in a large international women's nonprofit OoTao is a company leading the way in implementing in this space.
