Web 3.0 explained with a stamp (pt I: the basics)

Slide 1: Web 3.0 explained with a stamp (English version) Part I: the basics Part II: techniques

Slide 2: A presentation from: Freek Bijl (Dutch) blog: Bijlbrand.nl

Slide 3: When the web was in its early days, we didn’t know exactly what to show on a computer screen

Slide 4: A company card?

Slide 5: A call to action?

Slide 6: A button ?

Slide 7: A shop?

Slide 8: We call this period web 1.0.

Slide 9: Web 1.0 was all about our search for online viability.

Slide 10: When we got a grip on the technical part, the real possibilities of the web became more clear.

Slide 11: We discovered the power of networks.

Slide 12: The power of links

Slide 13: The power of collaboration

Slide 14: The power of content and reach

Slide 15: The power of friends

Slide 16: This is what we call web 2.0.

Slide 17: Web 2.0 is all about the power of networks.

Slide 18: Basically, web 2.0 is a social change. The technical part of the web hasn’t changed very much.

Slide 19: But, web 3.0 will be driven by technological changes.

Slide 20: Web 3.0 - the semantic web - is about the meaning of data.

Slide 21: ?

Slide 22: Suppose, I am a stamp collector...

Slide 23: Over the years I’ve collected a lot of stamps.

Slide 24: About every stamp, I made a document

Slide 25: That’s a lot of documents

Slide 26: But…

Slide 27: How will I find that specific stamp? ?

Slide 28: Ah, of course !

Slide 29: This is the web we have today: a huge collection of documents

Slide 30: The words of all those documents are indexed. We can search for keywords.

Slide 31: Now, suppose I search for all red stamps…

Slide 32: What do I get ? Red stamps Stamps from Cambodia (Khmer Rouge) Stamps from the Red Sea Stamps from the 140 th anniversary of the Red Cross Stamps with red dragons

Slide 33: Not very intelligent, but how can a computer know what I mean?

Slide 34: Answer: when we structurally describe that a stamp is a stamp and red is a color.

Slide 35: Describing data in a structured way can best be done in a database.

Slide 36: Different databases can be connected.

Slide 37: A database with stamps A database with countries A database with colours A database with stamp traders

Slide 38: Web 3.0 creates a big collection of databases which can be connected on demand.

Slide 39: Agreements are made on the structure of data and the way data is described. Where the data is located is irrelevant. Linking data is the power of web 3.0.

Slide 40: So, “I want all the red stamps, designed in Europe, but used in the U.S.A., between 1980 and 1990” is a question that will get a better answer with web 3.0.

Slide 41: (Note)

Slide 42: This definition of web 3.0 is a ‘narrow’ definition. Like web 2.0, web 3.0 stands for a range of developments.

Slide 43: A broader definition of web 3.0: A fast broadband connection to the internet, always and everywhere . Open source techniques and free data (Data as a Service) Open identities Software as a Service (e.g. Google docs)
