WWW (World Wide Web)

WEB 1.0 (Static Web)


 Also known as flat page or stationary
 “As is”, meaning it cannot be manipulated by the user.
WEB 2.0 (Dynamic Web)

 It allows the user to interact with the page. Instead of just reading the
page, the user may be able to comment or create a user account.
 Dynamic page refers to the web pages that are affected by the user
input or preference.
KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

1. Folksonomy – allows the 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 a pound
sign (#) or Hashtag.
KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

2. Rich User Interface – 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.
KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

3. User Participation – the owner of website is


not the only one who is able to put content.
Others are able to place a content on their own
by means of comments, reviews, and
evaluation.
KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

4. Long Tail – services are offered on demand rather


than on a one-time purchase. This is synonymous to
subscribing to a data plan that charges you for the
amount of time you spent on Internet or a data plan
that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you
used.
WEB 3.0 and the Semantic Web

Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium


(W3C). The semantic web provides a framework that allows data to be
shared and reuse to deliver web content specifically targeting the use.
PROBLEMS OF WEB 3.0

 COMPATIBILITY – HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0
 SECURITY – The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or
her preferences.
 VASTNESS – The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
 VAGUENESS – Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would
depend to the user.
 LOGIC – Since the machine use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to be
able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.

on a similar goal or task. For example, besides using your personal
computer to create word documents, you can now use your smartphone.
