Web 1.0
▪▪The initial building of the Web
– Based on posting printed media (books, news,…) online

▪▪Key areas of interest centered on:


– protocols such as HTTP,
– open standard markup languages, such as HTML and XML,
– the first Web browsers,
– Web development platforms and tools,
– Web-centric software languages such as Java and Javascript,
– the creation of first Web sites,
– the commercialization of the Web and Web business models, …

Web 1.0
▪▪1999-2001 - dotcom boom
– Huge investments in dot-com startups
– Entrepreneurs, many of whom without well-founded and well-thought
of ideas, use the popularity of the dot-com hype to get money from
the investors

and total disappointment in the Web and its prospects

Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
When the World Wide Web was invented,
most web pages were static.
Static > (also knows as flat page or stationary
page) in the sense that the page is “as is” and
cannot be manipulated by the user.
> The content is also the same for all
users.
> This referred to as Web 1.0
Web 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy
DiNucci on January 1999.
It is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding
dynamic web pages – the user is able to see a
website differently than others.
It allows users to interact with the page
instead of just reading a page, the user may
be able to comment or create a user account.
Web 2.0
also allows users to use web browsers instead of
just using their operating system.
Browsers can now be used for their user interface,
application software (or web applications), and
even for file storage.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking
sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted
services, and web applications.

Features of Web 2.0
1. Folksonomy – allows users to categorize
and classify/arrange information using
freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging).
Popular social networking sites such as
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use
tags that start with the pound sign (#). This
is also referred to as hashtag.
Features of Web 2.0
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic
and is responsive to user’s input. An
example would be a website that shows
local content. In the case of social
networking sites, when logged on, your
account is used to modify what you see in
their website.
Features of Web 2.0
3. User Participation – the owner of the website
is not the only one who is able to put
content. Others are able to place a content
of their own by means of comments,
reviews, and evaluation. Some websites
allow readers to comment on an article,
participate in a poll, or review a specific
product. (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores.)
Features of Web 2.0
4. Long Tail – services that are offered on
demand rather than on a one-time
purchase. In certain cases, time-based
pricing is better than file-sized pricing or
vice-versa. This is synonyms to
subscribing to a data plan that charges you
for the amount of time you spent in the
Internet, or a data plan that charges you
for the amount of bandwidth you used.
Features of Web 2.0
5. Software as a Service – users will subscribe
to a software only when needed rather
than purchasing them. This is a cheaper
option if you do not always need to use a
software. Software as a service allows you
to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
Features of Web 2.0
6. Mass Participation– diverse information
sharing through universal web access.
Since most users can use the Internet,
Web 2.0’s content is based on people from
various cultures.

Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
SEMANTIC WEB > is a movement led by the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The
W3C standard encourages web developers to
include semantic content in their web pages.
Tim Berners –Lee – inventor of World Wide
Web. He also noted that the Semantic Web is
a component of Web 3.0.
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
SEMANTIC WEB > according to the W3C, “It
provides a common framework that allows
data to be shared and reused across
application, enterprise, and community
boundaries.”
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
>The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines (or
servers) understand the user’s preferences to
be able to deliver web content specifically
targeting the user.
Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.0
