This position paper proposes the Personal Web as the next instantiation of the Smart Internet Research Initiative. Zooming in the problem scope of Smart Internet, the Personal Web focuses on the person ME as the center of gravity of web integration. The objective of the Personal Web is to empower ME, as a common internet user of generally limited technical skills, the autonomy and ease of control in assembling and aggregating integrateable web elements across the web for a particular sphere of context of my concern. This should be so simple to do that becomes frequent everyday tasks. Typical integrate-able web elements are made available as extensions to current web sites by web domains' software programmers, to enable end users to drive and operate web integration by themselves. This user-sovereign web integration results in the generation of dynamic and high degree of personalized web artifacts for visualizations and interactions, synthesized together in a manner that is cognitively supportive; melding silos of web domains into a unified web platform to support the individual user's situational and/or persisted and repeated need for contextually relevant data and services without any programming requirement. Currently, the most popular solution towards such goal is mashups of various nuances which focuses on web sites, information and services web integration. The Personal Web proposes a people-centric integration of information, services and web content as a significantly different approach of web integration. This position paper asserts that this approach offers much better potential to realize the set goals of the Personal Web than the currently prominent mashups approach. The Personal Web is fundamentally built upon Resource Description Framework (RDF) based Linked Data of the semantic web by Tim Berners-Lee, with several significant adaptations and extensions of linked data proposed in the paper to resolve the current technical and practical limitations of mashups, in order to realize the Personal Web goals and objectives. Adaptations and extensions discussed in this paper include personal linked data; linked services and linked services scoped into personal linked services. In addition, a three-layer meta-model of the Personal Web is also proposed in order to enable more opportunities for the inference and discovery of semantic relationships between the user's sphere of context and the participating integrate-able web elements. With a defined meta-model of the Personal Web, simple user operations for web integrations can be defined and made available to users to control web integration for themselves without additional tools and widgets. I believe that the strategy set by the Personal Web will bring forth a significant step to improve users' lives by putting control in their hands in pulling together data, services and web content feeds from around the internet.
