Summary about Web 3.0

THE SEMANTIC WEB


Web 3.0 is known as "The Semantic Web". It simply means,  a group of methods and technologies that allow machines to understand the meaning – or "semantics" – of information on thefor the reason being In essence, the Semantic Web is a place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them.

In my own terms, it is a technology so effective that it can

1. Understand human lingo 

2. Learn what we are interested in

3. Help us find better in what we want


We started off with Web 1.0, which is about searching for online viability, Web 2.0 is about understanding the power of networks, collaboration (Wiki), content and research (Youtube) and friends (Facebook). The social change it has caused in our time is substantial and significant.

Today's web is about written documents mainly HTML, read-write such as the platform of Web 2.0. But, Web 3.0 is beyond this, it is not documents, but it is things. It recognize places, people, companies, products, movies. It can even understand the relationship and linkage between all these things! Thus, you are not interacting with a dead web, but in fact, communicating with the web to get specific information you require for anything. It is like a big bookshelf and you can find different categories and endless data on any topic!
