It's time for Web 3.0
Again, this isn't a copy paste from somewhere else, this is my own article.
This might be too early to talk about Web 3.0 when we are still trying to mingle with Web 2.0 technology. For people who are thinking what I am talking about, then here is some jargon about Web 2.0 :-
Web 2.0 is a perceived or proposed second generation of the web. This is where the web has evolved and improved over time and now offers better and more up to date services like blogs, wiki’s, social networking sites etc. Examples being, Youtube, Digg, Gmail, Orkut, etc.
Now back to Web 3.0. Though there have been many arguments and discussions on a particular definition of Web 3.0, one can summarize that it’s the first step towards the emergence of "The Data Web" as structured data records are published to the Web in reusable and remotely query able formats, such as XML, RDF and micro formats.
You may ask that what Web 1.0 was then. Well, where Web 1.0 was a "read-only" web, with content being produced by and large by the organizations backing any given site, and Web 2.0 was an extension into the "read-write" web that engaged users in an active role, Web 3.0 could extend this one step further by allowing people to modify the site or resource itself.
Let’s wait and watch what Web 3.0 has in store for us…
