172 PDFs & authors gave away exclusive rights. Looking forward to @TheWebConf #WWW2019 as it may be the "year of the Web" for the academic community to use the native Web stack to self-control and express knowledge w/o arbitrary & archaic 3rd party requirements. #LinkedResearch

What it takes to mark the research track of @TheWebConf 2018 (WWW2018) as done: 1100+ submitted papers 1200+ PC members 3500+ authors 4600+ reviews 45000+ emails All these combined result in 172 accepted papers that will be presented in Lyon in April. Now I need a drink.

Actually, the proceedings will be published in HTML. Not yet the self-control you are looking for, I know, but a significant step towards native Web stack, I believe. Rome wasn't built in one day...

Ah yes the "Rome wasn't.." card :) Are you implying that given the state of what's possible on the Web in 2017, "The" "Web" "Conf" literally defaults to the lowest methodology for its clientele, that happens to study the Web? Perhaps once we know for sure the Web thing takes off?

Will there be granular identifiers in ACM's HTML representation? What do you recommend we use to query/search for the hypothesis of those scientific articles? Google? Do those documents contain interactivity? Why was giving away exclusive rights a condition to make contributions?

We are working out the details with ACM right now... More information soon.
