Web 3.0
What is Web 3.0? It is still in a very nascent stage. The growth of Web 3.0 can be visualised if we take the different lines of debate on the definition of Web 3.0. Some says it is the future of World Wide Web, while others argue it as a mere development above Web 2.0, making the Web 3.0 more mature and durable. If we start from the start say Where Web 1.0 was a “read-only” web, where content was produced mostly by the organizations backing any given site, and with Web 2.0 it was an extension into the “read-write” web that engaged users in more participatory role, Web 3.0 could extend this one step further by using more intelligent software that utilize more semantic data. Some often says that the Semantic web will transform the web and lead to new possibilities in artificial intelligence. However other techies, journalists and visionaries believe that internet connection speed and modular graphics will dominate and play key roles.
In lay man’s language Web 3.0 is not about search, entertainment and shopping, it will generate business application. It will radically change the organisations where you work and can change your career path too. It is divided into three layers.
So expectedly Web 3.0 will eventually transform the whole Web into a database or distributed databases to create ‘World Wide Databases’. Web 3.0 will be evolutionary path to artificial intelligence, giving more ways to explore and bundle the Semantic Web and SOA, and it also revolutionize 3D and will enhance ‘Second Life’. API services forms the foundation layer of Web 3.0 topology. Aggregation Services form the middle layer and the application services form the top layer.
On the other hand, Web 3.0 also being talked about as possible convergence between Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and semantic web. Nova Spivack thinks Web 3.0 to be the web of third decade which will include transformation of the web, ubiquitous connectivity, network computing, open technologies, distributed databases and intelligent applications.
Recently in a summit Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google mentioned “Web 2.0 is a marketing term, and I think you’ve just invented Web 3.0. But if I were to guess what Web 3.0 is, I would tell you that it’s a different way of building applications… My prediction would be that Web 3.0 will ultimately be seen as applications which are pieced together. There are a number of characteristics: the applications are relatively small, the data is in the cloud, the applications can run on any device, PC or mobile phone, the applications are very fast and they’re very customizable. Furthermore, the applications are distributed virally: literally by social networks, by email….”
If we are heading towards more versions of web beyond ‘Web 3.0’ and would go to ‘Web n.0’ or not, well… for that you need to check my posts … frequently.
