This document discusses the evolution of the web from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, with Web 2.0 focusing on user participation through things like mashups and folksonomies, and Web 3.0 aiming to develop a global, semantically linked database through open standards and metadata. The semantic web of Web 3.0 could benefit librarians by allowing for improved findability, indexing, and classification of resources through ontologies and taxonomies.

There’s been a lot of buzz about the emergence of the Web 2.0 and how it’s changing everything that we do on the Internet. Launching the Library 2.0 looks at how library systems and services fit into this new user-centric world where dynamic Web-based tools, online communities, and the ability to personalize everything drives one’s computing environment. Come see how the Library 2.0 is being envisioned, the tools that make it work, and how it will affect everything that you do.

Journey of world wide web across its various phases and how we could achieve the web that we have at present. Also an insight into the current and future trends in world wide web and Internet.
This is an edited version of a talk that I gave on the 11th of February to some PhD students from the University of Utrecht at a seminar on science and communication.
Beacon, GRDDL, and Twine... oh my!! Sometimes it is hard to keep track of all the new technology on the web. Which are the ones worth paying attention to? Let's take a look into how the web evolves and where we've came from. (Finally, a field where "evolution" and "intelligent design" can play nice.) We'll dive deep into some of the upcoming trends poised to change the web as we know it.
A LITERATURE REVIEW ON SEMANTIC WEB – UNDERSTANDING THE PIONEERS’ PERSPECTIVEcsandit
There are various definitions, view and explanations about Semantic Web, its usage and its underlying architecture. However, the various flavours of explanations seem to have swayed way off-topic to the real purpose of Semantic Web. In this paper, we try to review the literature of Semantic Web based on the original views of the pioneers of Semantic Web which includes, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Dean Allemang, Ora Lassila and James Hendler. Understanding the vision of the pioneers of any technology is cornerstone to the development. We have broken down Semantic Web into two approaches which allows us to reason with why Semantic Web is not mainstream.

Supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Libraries Allan Cho
According to the Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA-FCAB)’s position statement, “libraries have a responsibility to contribute to a culture that recognizes diversity and fosters social inclusion.” Yet the numbers tell a different story, and a recent research study that examined racial and ethnic diversity among Canadian academic librarians in a nationwide survey found a lack of ethnic diversity among the profession. Similarly, when American Library Association (ALA) released "Diversity Counts," the comprehensive study revealed a lack of diversity in librarianship that failed to reflect the demographic shifts across the United States. In 2012, a landmark study captured for the first time demographics of visible minority librarians in Canada, and found an overwhelming need from respondents for a forum to share ideas, a mentorship program, and networking opportunities. Drawing on their research and experiences, this session's panelists share experiences, insights, and concerns relating to the representation, identity, bias, educational barriers, and other issues they have observed and encountered within the library landscape and society at large. How can Canadian librarians support their racially and ethnically diverse librarian colleagues? What are the issues and challenges faced by Canadian libraries with respect to the recruitment and retention of a racially and ethnically diverse workforce? And how can libraries advocate for and promote racial and ethnic diversity in the library profession beyond the confines of their own libraries?

Ricepaper Magazine: Publishing From 1.0 to 2.0 Allan Cho
Ricepaper magazine is a Canadian magazine which has showcased Asian Canadian literature, culture, and the arts since 1994. Ricepaper first began in 1994 as a newsletter for the Asian Canadian Writers’ Workshop (ACWW) – eight pages which were photocopied back-to-back and stapled together. Ricepaper was a way for ACWW members to communicate amongst each other as well as celebrate each other’s successes. ACWW, a non-profit organization, continues to publish Ricepaper today. From these humble beginnings, Ricepaper became a quarterly magazine that was distributed coast-to-coast, publishing the new voices coming out of the Asian Canadian arts and literary community. Ricepaper continues to be the longest running Canadian literary magazine of its kind with an Asian Canadian perspective.
"Digital Humanities in East Asia" is a presentation at the UBC Digital Humanities Mixer on August 11, 2016. It is a summary of the research I had completed during my sabbatical.

4. The essence of web 2.0?
“A web mashup is a web site or application that
combines data from at least two or more sources
creating a seamless separate application or service
unique to contributing components.”
Michelle Kraft, 2008
6. Problems with web 2.0
Fragmented
Too many programs
Too many passwords and ID’s

How do you find a Margaret Atwood book at UBC library from Google? Impossible!
Katherine Adams’ article in 2002 had argued that librarians should be taking the charge with the skills that we have.
Amazon.com’s online bookstore model became a catalyst for bookstores to “open” up their catalogues for all to see.
