This article presents some highlights of the 11th Australasian World Wide Web Conference (AusWeb05) held in Australia in July 2005. AusWeb is a forum for librarians, technologists, social scientists, and entrepreneurs to discuss broad issues shaping the Web's evolution. AusWeb05 featured four tracks: Technical and Standards; Education and Training; e-Commerce/e-Business/Online Marketing; and Society, Information and the Web. Although presenters were predominantly from Australia, there was a cross-section of delegates from Asia and North America. Web evolution was the starting point for the tracks, but topics quickly moved onto a more granular analysis of Web trends, four of which emerged as central themes for the conference: high-quality content, Google Scholar, e-learning, and business models.
