Web 2.0 “… the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.  Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects in order to get better the more that people use them.” Tim O’Reilly Dale Dougherty, 2005

Is social networking the last innovation of the Internet? “Twitter [is] an information network rather then a social network. " Today you have everyone generating data. … These massive amounts of data are perfect for new applications.

Web 3.0 ? What’s Web 3.0 ?

Web 3.0 ? Semantics / Meaning

RDF (Resource Description Framework) Data.gov has over 6 billion triples of data available – creates linked data mashups During the past year, the US and UK have published thousands of data sets for building mashups. Opencalais and MusicBrainz The power of the web is that hyperlinks can link to anything. Relationshps between things are a graph Nodes are resources Relationships are given by URLs Resource: This is a set of statements and this is an RDF document. Statement: A statement associates a data (a literal or a resource) to the element that uses it. Literal: This is a text. Triple: A complex statement with a subject, a predicate, an object. RDF is the technology on which the semantic web is based Everything has a URL (book, person, chair, song) Facebook uses Opengraph uses the Open Graph Protocol, which uses RDFa and “enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, [...] it enables any web page to have the same functionality as a Facebook Page.”
