Web 3.0
Web 3.0 is a term used to describe the evolution of the Web. It was first used in a blog article, critical of Web 2.0 in early 2006. The term Web 3.0 has become a subject of increasing interest. Nova Spivack has proposed that the best way to define Web 3.0 is as “the third decade of the Web, from 2010 to 2020″.
In May 2006, Tim Berners-Lee stated:
“People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think maybe when you’ve got an overlay of scalable vector graphics – everything rippling and folding and looking misty – on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you’ll have access to an unbelievable data resource.”
Though no-one knows exactly what Web 3.0 will be like it is imagined to be something similar to this:
Applications that provide easy, transparent and organized access to the world’s data, information, and knowledge. Transforming the Web into a database, what some call the Data-Web. By 2020, Spivack predicts the Semantic Web will be globally integrated into the Web, opening the door for the fourth decade of the Web, Web 4.0 (the years 2020 to 2030), in which a new generation of more intelligent applications and services will be produced.
Another possible path for Web 3.0 is towards the 3 dimensional vision. This would involve the Web transforming into a series of 3D spaces, taking the concept realised by Second Life further.
