The number of Web 2.0 services and applications, widely used by Internet users, academics, industry and enterprise, are growing rapidly, which demonstrates its solid foundations. These technologies and services are based on the open standards that underpin the Internet and Web, and are used in many forms, e.g. blogs, wikis, mashups, social websites, podcasting and content tagging. This field is having a significant impact on distributed infrastructure and applications, and on the way users and developers interact. It is important to understand the influence of this theme because Web 2.0 is providing endless opportunities in academia; the general public, which in turn is driving the business agenda in enterprises and industry, is increasingly using it. This workshop aims to deliver a greater understanding of the influence and changes to be expected regarding e-Research infrastructure, applications and the way users and developers interact.
