Tim Berners-Lee, pioneer of the Internet, refers to Web 1.0 as “read only” web. Web 1.0 was simple with very little available interaction. The purpose was to make information available for search and read.
Web 2.0 has been termed “read-write” web, allowing users to contribute content and interact with applications. Many Web 2.0 technologies rely on users, such as YouTube and Facebook. Web 2.0 applications are more user-involved with the information that has now been made available.
Web 3.0, the new web frontier, can be described as “read-write-execute.” The focus of Web 3.0 technologies is understanding. Semantic markup is language understood by software. Through semantic markup, computers can interact with other computers through web service. A combination of semantic markup and web service encourages applications and computers to interact directly. By adding meaning to data, computers can perform intelligent searches through reasoning and combining. Web 3.0 can potentially create broader searches through simpler interfaces.
Web 3.0 software is an evolution in technology with the goal of creating communication among applications. Web 3.0 is closer to completing the circle of developers, users and applications.
