On this subject, I can point you to a few different views
A #mainstreaming view An Open Web
A neutral view OpenWeb - Wikipedia sadly this has been captured by a #dotcons, god that’s bad, we should change this. The other option I found, a very bad article that is closer Online community - Wikipedia
My background view http://hamishcampbell.com/tag/openweb/ is what am talking about.
You will notice I am using a social view of the technical internet and #openweb as at their root they are more social than technical, though this is likely hard to see for most people - we need to make this easer 
Ps. there is a song for this subject The Coders Song
Have a read of the background (more lack of it, what a mess) then feel free to ask me from this.
UPDATE I asked Wikipedia to move the #dotcons squatted page for #openweb please add your voice here thanks https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AOpenWeb#Can_we_move_this_artical_off_squating_#openweb
