WWW (World Wide Web)


 When WWW was invented, most web pages were static. Static (also known as flat page or stationary page) in the
same that the page “as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user. This referred to as Web 1.0.

Example of Web 2.0.


 •Social Networking sites
 •Blogs
 •Wikis
 •Video sharing sites

Web 2.0
 Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with the page known as DYNAMIC PAGE; instead of just reading an age, the
user may be able to comment or create a user account. Dynamic page refers to the web pages that are affected by
user input or preference.

Key Features of Web 2.0


 Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g.
tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with a pound
sign (#) or hashtag.
 Rich User Interface – content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An example would be a website that
shows local content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what
you see in their website.
 User Participation– the owner of website is not the only one who is able to put content. Others are able to place a
content on their own by means of comments, reviews, and evaluation.
 Long Tail – services are offered on demand rather than on a one-time purchase. This is synonymous to subscribing
to a data plan that charges you for the amount of time you spent on Internet or a data plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.

Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web


• Semantic Web– is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C). The semantic web provides
a framework that allows data to be shared and reuse to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
Web 3.0 is not yet to be fully realized because off several problems:
 Compatibility-HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
 Security – The user’s security is also question since the machine is saving his or her preferences.
 Vastness-The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
 Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would depend to the user.
 Logic- since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the user is
referring to at a given time.
