Web 2.0 vs. the e-Framework - ding ding, seconds out, round one...

I've had concerns for some time now about the relationship between Web 2.0 and the e-Framework for Education and Research.  (Despite the title of this post, I am aware that it isn't a simple contest! :-) ).

I recently had cause to go back and watch Michael Wesch's The Machine is Us/ing Us, a video that I first watched some time ago but one that is still very watchable.

The video speaks primarily about Web 2.0 as an attitude and the cultural fallout that results from that.  But from a purely technical perspective, and reading between the lines a little, what it is talking about is the power of 'structured data' (and in particular, the 'feed') and the 'hypertext link'.  That's my take on it anyway.  More than anything else, it is those constructs that make the Web (read Web 2.0 if you like) so powerful.

The pertinent question, for me, is "does the e-Framework support the Web (again, read Web 2.0 if you like) mindset, does it fight against it, or is it neutral?".

My concern is that, in practice, it fights against it?  What I'd like to see is some good reassurance that it doesn't.
