tract. In the 21st century, with the advent of ultra high-speed broadband networks (1Gb per second), the Internet will offer new opportunities for innovators to design qualitative services and applications. Indeed, the challenge of such e-services is not only on the technological aspects of Internet with new infrastructures and architectures to conceive. The reality is also on its human and multimedia content delivery, with innovative philosophies of communication to apply in this digital and virtual age. In the context of Teaching and Learning as a human-centered design approach, we propose a new paradigm for thinking the Web, called the Web of Signs, rather than the Web of things. It focuses on the process of making knowledge by sharing signs and significations (Semiotic Web), more than on knowledge transmission with intelligent object representations (Semantic Web). Sign management is the shift of paradigm for education with ICT (e-Education) that we have investigated in such domains as enhancing natural and cultural heritage. In this paper, we will present this concept and illustrate it with two examples issued from La Reunion Island projects in instrumental e-Learning (@-MUSE) and biodiversity informatics (IKBS). This Sign management method was experimented in the frame of our Living Lab in Teaching and Learning at University of Reunion Island. Keywords: Semiotic Web, Sign management, E-service, Education, Living Lab, Creativity Platform, Future Internet.

Introduction
The Future of Internet is not only a matter of technological, economical, or societal awareness; it is also grounded in individual, environmental and cultural values. Psychological, ethical, biological and emotional properties are indeed drivers of the Future Internet in a perspective of sustainable development of services with people. Although the Internet is the interconnection of networks of computers, it delivers interactive human-machine services such as the Web or Email [1]. The Web is an information service available on Internet with access to personalized documents, images and other resources interrelated together by hyperlinks and referenced with E.

Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). Email is also a communication service available on the Internet. Nevertheless, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are not only oriented on technologies, but also convey human contents (data, information, and knowledge) that are communicated between end-users. At this upper level, co-designing e-services are means to connect producers and consumers of multimedia contents, in order that infrastructures of Future Internet meet user needs [2]. These principles have been adopted since 2006 by the European Network of Living Labs and are developed in the frame of corresponding literature [3]. Our idea is that in the Future Internet, we must not on
