Confluence Retirement

Due to the feedback from stakeholders and our commitment to not adversely impact USGS science activities that Confluence supports, we are extending the migration deadline to January 2023.

In an effort to consolidate USGS hosted Wikis, myUSGS’ Confluence service is targeted for retirement. The official USGS Wiki and collaboration space is now SharePoint. Please migrate existing spaces and content to the SharePoint platform and remove it from Confluence at your earliest convenience. If you need any additional information or have any concerns about this change, please contact myusgs@usgs.gov. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Data Web vs. Document Web

Document Web (Past → Current State of the Web)

  • Linking documents
  • Standard used: HTML
  • Based on the URL
  • Example: WikiPedia

Data Web (Current → Future State of the Web)

  • Linking Data
  • Standard used: RDF
  • Based on the URI
  • Example: DBPedia (open linked data source)

Moving towards the "Data Web" will happen through semantic web standards and technologies.
