An Introduction To Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is the new generation of the World Wide Web, through which Web 2.0 technology joins hands with the Semantic Web, making it possible for humans as well as machines to access and use the information stored in the Web. With Web 3.0, machines will be able to perform tasks requiring human intelligence, reducing our time and effort on the Internet dramatically.

Web 3.0, aiming at making the Internet a better, smarter network, is a precursor to the fully semantic Web, and successor to the Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 specialized in making the net usage collaborative by allowing the people to interact with the data and contribute their views through such things as wiki, blogs, social networking sites, etc. Examples: Wikipedia, Blogger, Digg, Technorati, http://Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Myspace, Facebook, Flickr, and many more.

But Web 3.0 will give Internet itself intelligence by making the machines-programs that access data (search engine bots, etc.,) -understand what the data itself is. This will make them dig up the best information from the Web for our needs and be able to contribute a lot better than they do now.

Need for Web 3.0

When we search in Google for particular information, most of what we get on the first page are the links to websites without any information useful to us. To obtain the Website that we need, we might have to use different keywords or go to the second or third SERP. Without using our intelligence, we can't get the required result. Programs cannot see what people can.

Google is a dumb machine discharging its bots throughout the Web, scanning for keywords. When it finds a keyword in any site already indexed by it, it will present the link to you. It is up to you to decide if the site is actually useful or not. Hence, most of the time, the first search results of Google are not what you want; they either contain technical jargon allover or advertisements, not the specific thing you want.

With the advent of Web 3.0, this is all going to change. Web 3.0 aims to make the Internet itself a huge database of information, accessible to machines as well as humans. When Web 3.0 becomes popular, we will have a data-driven web, enabling us unearth information faster from the net.

You can help the machine to suit your needs, by searching for, organizing and presenting information from the Web. This means that with Web 3.0, you can be fully automated on the Internet. In addition to this, with intelligent machines, you can achieve tasks like the following very simple: the automation of stock transactions, review and delete unwanted e-mails, creating and updating websites, and booking your tickets, airline tickets, etc.

Web 3.0 is going to be actually the era of artificial intelligence enabled programs sprawling the Web.

Semantic Web Enabling Technologies

Web 3.0 technologies contribute to the Semantic Web by creating a worldwide database of the data that is currently scattered across the Internet. We have millions of data formats for even one simple task. This is because there are too many applications on every genre, and each of them creates its own data format, which is hidden by other applications. The main task of Web 3.0 technologies is to unify all of these formats and a common, extensible format that any application can understand data. Only if the data is not hidden from the machines, the machines can not productive.

The web technologies that will realize Web 3.0 are these.

1. The RDF: resource description framework and RDF are, W3C created by a consortium of HTML, DHTML, SGML is, in general, Web markup languages such as creators of the scheme can be used to describe the resources on . Is, XML syntax is based on the model, primarily, Creative Commons license widget, RDF using the / XML scheme, title, author, Web page changes, etc. For example, such as date, the metadata on the Internet to describe the details of the license is used to describe the information.

2. XML: The Extensible Markup Language is a general-purpose markup scheme that can be used to generate custom markups. XML is such a highly versatile markup scheme that it lets the users define their own elements, enabling seamless compatibility.

3. OWL (Web Ontology Language): OWL is another creation of W3C. It's a knowledge representation scheme, used to script ontologies (the interrelationships between terms in any application document).

Mainly these three technologies, which enable the markup of custom data, are used to author information in machine-accessible form in the Web 3.0. In addition, the derivatives of these technologies and some other extensible markup schemes like XHTML, contribute to it.

Uses of Web 3.0

Web 3.0 contributes extremely to the development of the current Internet. Companies like ZCubes, ZOHO, Google, etc., which specialize in Web 3.0, have built applications to incorporate the semantic revolution of the Web.

Implementation technology, including the Web 3.0 (or Web services, online applications), it can do almost anything. For example, if you go to ZCubes site, you can create a custom Web page can contain text, tables, on-site calculation script, music, pictures, video broadcast, live websites, and so on. You can even hand-written page, and create your own high-quality vector graphics. All these features can be embedded in a single page, drag and drop, the product (a plain HTML file), you can save on your computer or network announced.

Conclusion

Web 3.0 is all about the backend of the Web, about creating extreme machine interfacing. When the Web 3.0 interface becomes more popular, it will entirely change the way we access the Internet. We humans will no longer have to do the difficult tasks of researching on the Internet and finding the exact information. Machines will better do all these tasks. We only will need to view the data, modify it in the way we want, and create whatever new thing we wish to create.
