Social media resources to communicate through cross-embedding and linking have evolved the Internet and society forever. We have experienced the applications and social networks of Web 2.0 such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.

Now the next step is Web 3.0, but what will change?

Semantic Web

The semantic web will differ by growing  from the existing world wide web technology framework. Presently, the Internet is a data wasteland and web activists are pushing for a structured database to aggregate this information. The goal of this is create context for the relationships between web pages.

Ontologies

An ontology is a defintion for a word or web page. For example, your Facebook page is a landing page about you and the information you place about yourself on your page creates context for visitors about who you are. But what if artificial intelligence could compile information throughout the internet about specific items, people or topics to create context without a human. This would personalize the internet experience dramatically making each session a unique information experience.

Structure

Semantic web engineers are torn on how structured the semantic web should be – whether every internet page should be collated or if  room should remain for free flowing information.

Confused?

This a lot of information to consume and digest. So below is a documentary worth watching explaining the vision of semantic web and Web 3.0 technology.
