 Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
Wen 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci on January
1999.
Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic
web pages.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites,
blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, and
web applications.
 Features of Web 2.0
The key features of Web 2.0 include:
1. Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is
responsive to user’s input.
3. User Participation – the owner of the website is not the
only one who is able to put content.
4. Long Tail – services that are offered on demand rather
than on a one-time purchase.
 Features of Web 2.0
The key features of Web 2.0 include:
5. Software as a Service – users will subscribe to a
software only when needed rather than
purchasing them.
6. Mass Participation – diverse information sharing
through universal web access.
 Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
Semantic Web is a movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Semantic Web provides a common framework
that allows data to be shared and reused across
application, enterprise, and community
boundaries.
 Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of
several problems:
1. Compatibility. HTML files and current web
browser could not support Web 3.0.
2. Security. The user’s security is also in question
since the machine is saving his or her
preferences.
3. Vastness. The WWW already contains billions of
web pages.
 Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of
several problems:
4. Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise.
5. Logic. There are certain limitations for a
computer to be able to predict what the user is
referring to at a given time.
