Introduction to Web 3.0.
The Internet paradigm is shifting again. We're riding the Web 3.0 wave. Information is searched for, filtered, personalized, and delivered to end users based on preferences, feedback, and location. Web 3.0 utilizes rich applications and social media introduced with Web 2.0 and delivers it to mobile devices and networks -- even digital signage.
The semantic web is an evolving extension of Web 3.0. It focuses on common formats for integration and a combination of data drawn from diverse sources and language for capturing / labeling how data relates to real world objects. Information is tagged in relationship to use and context. As a result, similar information can be delivered more effectively to humans and their devices.
In Web 3.0, search will retrieve tagged micro content that solves part of the ambiguity of homonyms and synonyms. Search will be more vertical with contextual information based on user preferences delivered across platforms and to devices based on their individual characteristics.
