Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is a term coined by Tim Berner Lee and define by the World Wide Web Consortium as "An extension of the web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries". There are many skeptical people when it comes to the semantic web but there are those in the sciences who believe it is feasible. The idea of what the web would look like would be seeing a bank statements on the web, and your photographs, and seeing appointments in a calendar. But you can’t see your photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when you took them and you can’t see a bank statement lines in a calendar. This is because we don't have a web of data because data is controlled by applications, and each application keeps it to itself. That is the idea behind 3.0.

Web 3.0 customizes the user experience for the individual. Another name for web 3.0 is the Semantic Web. Web 3.0 utilizes XML and Metadata to learn about the user and tailor the their experience to their specific preferences. The development of 3.0 is an evolutionary process that builds of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.
