The Genesis of “The Web”
In the beginning there was an expansive void….
Web 0.0
From a historic point of view 1990/1991 is the official birth of the
(commercial) Internet, which was available to the general public. From this
date on you see a lot of technical and infrastructural evolution.

4. Outline
• Generations of WWW.
 Web 1.0
 Web 2.0
 Web 3.
Web 1.0 The static web & shopping carts
Experts call the Internet before 1999 “Read-Only” web. The average internet
user’s role was limited to reading the information which was presented to him
or her. The best examples of this 1.0 web era are millions of static websites
which mushroomed during the dot-com boom. There was no active
communication or information flow from consumer (of the information) to
producer (of the information). But the information age was born!
Web 2.0… Web 2.0 is Dynamic Web ,
about Reading and Writing
Web 3.0: The semantic executing web and Machine Centric Web
will be a “Read-Write-Execute” web.

5. Web 2.0
People Centric Web
 Technologies and Trends
 Social networking sites:
 Facebook, MySpace,
Hi5, … etc.
 Tagging or Labeling Content:
 Del.icio.us.
 Wikis:
 Wikipedia.
 Community-generated
content:
 eBay.
 Open Services:
 Google.
 P2P:
 Bit Torrent.
 New Web technologies:
 XML, RSS, Ajax.
 Open Source Software

6. Web 3.0
Machine Centric Web
• The third generation of Web technologies and
services that emphasize a machine-facilitated
understanding of information on the Web.
Evolution Paths
• Semantic Web
 Intelligent System Planning
 Business and Network Applications
 … etc.
Video Web
Web 3D
Ubiquitous and Pervasive Web

7. Web 3.0
Semantic Web
• It is a group of methods and technologies to allow
machines to understand the meaning - or "semantics" - of
information on the World Wide Web.
• The semantic web is a vision of information that is
understandable by computers, so computers can perform
more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining,
and acting upon information on the web.
• The development of Web 3.0 focuses on adding metadata
or information to describe the content of the web which:
 Provide an intelligent level to the web site.
 Enable the user to communicate completely with the
machines.
Enable machines to communicate with each others.

9. Web 3.0
What does it need?
• Advanced Technology; Software, Hardware and
Protocols.
• Larger Bandwidth and network capacity.
• A good level of Privacy, Security and
Controllability should be granted over Web 3.0 to
encourage people to use it.

10. The Future is Now
Web 4.0 – Open, Linked and Intelligent Web
Although Web 4.0 still is in developing mode
and the true shape is still forming, first signals
are in that Web 4.0 will be about a linked web
which communicates with us like we
communicate with each other (like a personal
assistant). Web 4.0 is called the “symbiotic”
web. This Web will be very powerful and fully
executing. Web 4.0 will be known as the read-
write-execution-concurrency web.
