Week 9/10 - How does it differ from web 3.0?
Both the semantic web and web 3.0 are looking at ‘personalising’ the web so it allows for a more individual browsing experience in order to make information more accessible for the users through their preferences, as opposed to everyone experiencing the same hyperlinks (Web 2.0) through a process of integration. The World Wide Web has developed through web 1.0, web 2.0 and as I type, it is advancing to web 3.0. This identifies the constant developments of technology; some may say an inevitable change. Web 2.0 focuses on interaction where web 3.0 is taking this further. This is where it differs from semantic web because semantic web is a separate development. Is it fair to say that semantic web is enabled because of the internet, but isn’t a direct or ongoing advancement. We could link this to the notion of open architecture, there is something which is still being built outwards and upwards, but semantic web is like building something extra, like a conservatory- something that is added to make the house better and you could even say more accessible.

I'm not sure I agree. As I understand it, semantic is a way of replacing searching based upon the current combination of html encoded 'tags' and textual content (a pattern of 1s & zeros)with artificial intelligence enhanced searching based upon a new multi-layered tagging system which creates machine readable 'meaning'
ReplyDelete3.0 is more of an incremental development which will incorporate as much 'semantic searching' as is available. It consists of 'ubiquitous wireless computing' which knows who & where you are and uses social tagging to better serve you with relevant material. The Iphone is sort of half way there.
