History of the Web Berners-Lee envisioned a read/write web We weren’t ready in the 1990’s for such a big step We started with a read-only web – a place where everyone could read whatever they wanted, but only a select few (programmers) could write web pages. This was Web 1.0. Thursday, September 10, 2009

The Future ... Web 3.0? "THE IDEA THAT A DEEPER AND TIGHTER COUPLING BETWEEN THE ONLINE AND OFFLINE WORLDS WILL ACCELERATE SCIENCE, BUSINESS, SOCIETY, AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION." - DR. GARY FLAKE Semantic web Cloud computing No more email... Microformats Connecting data silos Command the web And more of the same http://blogs.nesta.org.uk/innovation/2007/07/the-future-is-s.html Thursday, September 10, 2009

Semantic Web To many, Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic Web, a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee. The Semantic Web is a place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them, a place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and ﬁnd what we're looking for. "It's a set of standards that turns the Web into one big database," says Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar Networks, one of the leading voices of this new-age Internet. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2102852,00.asp Thursday, September 10, 2009

Cloud Computing The term cloud computing probably comes from (at least partly) the use of a cloud image to represent the Internet. Cloud computing is now associated with a higher level abstraction of the cloud. Instead of there being data pipes, routers and servers, there are now services. In essence this is distributed computing. Cloud computing really is accessing resources and services needed to perform functions with dynamically changing needs. An example of this would be Google Apps and/or Zoho ofﬁce. Both the applications and the data are stored out in the cloud. http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/579826 Thursday, September 10, 2009

No more email... Email was invented 40 years ago - before the WWW and yet is our default communication method on the web Wave tries to change the ‘email’ protocol into something more like real time communication Let’s see a bit of an example.... http://wave.google.com/ http://mashable.com/2009/05/28/google-wave-guide/ Thursday, September 10, 2009

Microformats Designed for humans ﬁrst and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards (HTML & XML). Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems ﬁrst by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns. http://microformats.org/about http://mashups.web2learning.net/toc/chapter-3 Thursday, September 10, 2009

Microformats Today The Operator Plugin tries to bring the power of Microformats to the average user Operator is an extension for Firefox that adds the ability to interact with semantic data on web pages, including microformats, RDFa and eRDF. http://www.kaply.com/weblog/operator http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2006/12/16/microformats-part-3-introducing-operator/ Thursday, September 10, 2009

Connecting data silos Right now our data is stored in several silos (trapped and accessible from only one place) My images are on Flickr and then I have to upload them to Facebook and then I have to link to them from FriendFeed. My contacts are different on each service because I have to remember to invite my friends in all places We need to ﬁnd technologies to connect all of these social networks so that we can access everything from everywhere Users are started to expect more and more from technologies A combination of the semantic web and cloud computing http://www.slideshare.net/terraces/the-social-semantic-web-and-linked-data-presentation Thursday, September 10, 2009

Command the Web More and more applications are going to be run in the browser The browser is going to become our operating system With our data stored in the cloud, we’re going to need tools that let us access that data with ease Ubiquity might be a step in this direction http://labs.mozilla.com/ubiquity/ http://vimeo.com/1561578 Thursday, September 10, 2009

More of the same User generated content is going to be key The wisdom of crowds has been extremely successful in projects like Wikipedia and the open source movement - and isn’t going away Sites that don’t allow users to participate are going to fall to the wayside Thursday, September 10, 2009
