Sometimes we get suggestions from new commers that V2 is like some other technology
or consortium group they’ve heard about. We address each Technology/Consortium
below.
Internet 2 (http://www.internet2.edu/)
A consortium led by
universities working in partnership with industry and government to develop and
deploy advanced network applications and technologies.
Internet2 is the foremost
U.S.
advanced networking consortium. Led by the research and education community since
1996, Internet2 promotes the missions of its members by providing both leading-edge
network capabilities and unique partnership opportunities that together facilitate
the development, deployment and use of revolutionary Internet technologies.
We have only begun to discover the potential of Internet technology, not only to
the important work of the research and education community, but to commerce and
business, to healthcare and science, to the arts and humanities and beyond. Unlike
any other organization of its kind, the Internet2 community pioneers the use of
advanced network applications and technologies, from their academic inception through
their evolution to the commercial Internet.
Led by more than 200
U.S.
universities, working with industry and government, Internet2 develops and deploys
advanced network applications and technologies for research and higher education,
accelerating the creation of tomorrow's Internet

The grid (http://www.grid.org)
Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and
sharing computing, application, data, storage, or network resources across dynamic
and geographically dispersed organizations. Grid technologies promise to change
the way organizations tackle complex computational problems. However, the vision
of large scale resource sharing is not yet a reality in many areas — Grid computing
is an evolving area of computing, where standards and technology are still being
developed to enable this new paradigm

Web 2.0 (no official website)
The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly
and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP,
noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with
exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's
more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in
common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point
for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We agreed
that it did, and so the
Web 2.0 Conference was born.
Conclusion (Not even close or related - Just Hype)
They can’t even agree on what web 2.0 means. For my vote, it is a meaningless marketing
buzzword. Looks more like an attempt to boster a false perception of progress in web technology
because of its current state of stagnation not to mention the catastrophic
failure marked by the 2000 dot com bust. Nothing more than web 1.0 a.k.a the dot.coms
repackaging themselves. The old bate and switch just never dies.
Symantec Web (http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/)
The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and
its not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs,
and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar
to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar?
Why not? Because we don't have a web of data. Because data is controlled by applications,
and each application keeps it to itself.
The Semantic Web is about two things. It is about common formats for interchange
of data, where on the original Web we only had interchange of documents. Also it
is about language for recording how the data relates to real world objects. That
allows a person, or a machine, to start off in one database, and then move through
an unending set of databases which are connected not by wires but by being about
the same thing.
Conclusion (Not even close or related)
Just more patch work. This is another attempt at treating a symptom and not treating
the root cause. It only adds more complexity and layers to the convoluted process
of building applications. It is also just a minor fix to one of the many major problems
that can’t be fixed in the context of the web.
Web Science (http://www.webscience.org/)
The Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) is a joint endeavour between the Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT and the
School of Electronics
and Computer Science (ECS) at the
University of Southampton
. The goal of WSRI is to facilitate and produce the fundamental scientific advances
necessary to inform the future design and use of the World Wide Web.

Next Generation
Internet (NGI) (http://ngi.stanford.edu/front.html)
Today's Internet is immense with over 200 million users
and 40 million computers on the net. The Internet community is exploding at a rate
of seven new users every second. But while the number of current Internet users
grow, the development of new possibilities is being constrained by yesterday's Internet
technologies.

100x100 Clean Slate (
http://100x100network.org/)
The Internet is one of the most successful technology achievements. In less than
30 years, the Internet has grown from a small experimental network that served as
a playground for researchers to a global infrastructure that connects hundreds of
millions of people. IP, the technical foundation of Internet, is widely regarded,
by both the general and technical communities, to be the convergence technology
layer for all communication infrastructures and services. To date, network researchers
have focused on solutions that incrementally improve the Internet with the implicit
assumption that radical new solutions are not needed or have no chance of ever being
deployed.

PlanetLab
(http://www.planet-lab.org/)
PlanetLab aims to transform today's dumb, simple Internet communications system
into a smarter and much more flexible network that can ward off worms, store huge
amounts of data with perfect security, and deliver content instantly. Here's how
it fits into a long tradition of academic and government research projects that
developed fundamental networking, transmission, and distributed-computing technologies.
An effort by academic and corporate networking researchers to augment, and eventually
replace, today's "dumb" Internet with a much smarter network able to monitor itself
for worms and viruses, relieve bottlenecks automatically, and make personal-computing
environments portable to any terminal on earth.
Conclusion (Not even close or related)
I admire their we want to fix the problem attitude but there plan is to fix what
is not broken. What they are proposing is bad
bad bad. It would add more gatekeepers to the network. There is nothing smart about
that considering the nature of man. You want to move in the opposite direction.
We want to remove and or nullify all gatekeeping. The network doesn't need to be smart. The applications that run on it need to be smart or have the ability to play smart. The networks only job
is to provide an efficient transportation apparatus. They also lack a clear nexus
in vision, except we are going to build overlay networks. Well, ok.
