WEB 3.0?
Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic (Relating to
meaning in language or logic) Web, a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, the
man who invented the (first) World Wide Web. In essence, the Semantic Web is a
place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them, a place
where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what
we're looking for. "It's a set of standards that turns the Web into one
big database," says Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar Networks, one of the
leading voices of this new-age Internet.
But some are skeptical about whether the Semantic Web or at
least, Berners-Lee's view of it—will actually take hold. They point to other
technologies capable of reinventing the online world as we know it, from 3D
virtual worlds to Web-connected bathroom mirrors. Web 3.0 could mean many
things, and for Netheads, every single one is a breathtaking proposition.
Web 3.0: When Web Sites Become Web Services
When you are typing an e-mail, what the subject of the
e-mail is, and be able to suggest websites and books as well as documents,
photos and videos you have saved that may be relevant to that topic.
It will be achieve this by virtue of the inherent
'intelligence' in the underlying architecture of the internet, they say. In
other words, the web is becoming smart.
A prime example of a Web 3.0 technology is 'natural-language
search', which refers to the ability of search engines to answer full questions
such as 'Which US Presidents died of disease?'. In some cases, the sites that
appear in the results do not reference the original search terms, reflecting
the fact that the web knows, for instance, that Reagan was a US President, and
that Alzheimer's is a disease.
CONCEPTUAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WEB 1.0, WEB 2.0 AND WEB 3.0 The initial web that was
invented along with the introduction of Internet was Web1.0 [8] where
development focused on the back end or infrastructure of the web. Programmers
created protocols and code languages.
The next decade was Web 2.0 introduced by Tim O’Rielly where
focus is shifted to front end. Still we have not finished with web 2.0 and Web
3.0 is arrived. It is about adding
context to personalization.

Web 1.0 Static pages instead of dynamic
user-generated content.

Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just
retrieve information. They can build on the interactive facilities of
"Web 1.0" to provide "Network as platform" computing,
allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser

Web 3.0 combines semantic Web with Web 2.0’s tagging
culture. It will use internet to make connections with information
