World Wide Web

• The World Wide Web (WWW) is an

information space where
documents and other web
resources are identified by URLs,
interlinked by hypertext links, and
can be accessed via the Internet.
• Invented by Tim Berners-Lee in
1989.
Web 1.0 - Static Webpage

• Also known as FLAT Page or

stationary page
• It cannot be manipulated by
the user.
• The content is also the same
for all users.
• This is referred to as
“Web 1.0”
Web 2.0-Dynamic Webpage
• The term used to describe the
collection of web applications
used for interaction and
collaboration.
• It was coined by Darcy
DiNucci in 1999. It does not
refer to a new version of the
web, just a refocus of its use.
• Web 2.0 is more than the
retrieval of information. It is
the participation in a
website.
Features of Web 2.0
• Folksonomy – allow users to
categorized and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen
keywords (ex. Tagging). Popular social
networking site such as Twitter,
Instagram and Facebook etc. use tags
that start with the pound sing (#) /
hashtag.
• Rich user Experience – content is
dynamic and is responsive to user’s
input. 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
• 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 on their own ex.
Comments, reviews and
evaluation.
Features of Web 2.0
• Long Tail – services that offered
on demand rather than on a
one-time purchase. Subscribing
to a data plan that charges for
the amount time you spent in
the Internet.
Features of Web 2.0

• Softwareas a Service
– users will subscribe
to a software only
when needed rather
than purchasing them.
Features of Web 2.0

• MassParticipation –
diverse information
sharing through
universal web access.
Web 3.0 – Semantic Webpage
• Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be
shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community
boundaries.
• The aim is to have machine (server) understand the users
preferences.
Problems with Web 3.0
• Compatibility - HTML files and browsers cannot support Web 3.0
• Security – user’s security is in question since machine is saving his/her
preferences.
• Vagueness – certain word are imprecise.
• Logic – There are certain limitations for a computer to be able to
predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
