adding dynamic web pages - the
user is able to see a website
differently than others. Examples
of WEB 2.0 include social
networking sites, blogs, wikis,
video sharing sites, hosted

WEB 3.0 and the
Semantic Web
The Semantic web is a
movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium
(W3C)

The W3C standard

encourages web developers
to include semantic content
in their web pages.
According to the W3C, “the
Semantic Web provides a
common framework that
allows data to be shared and
reused across application,
enterprise, and community
boundaries.”
The aim of Web 3.0 is to
have machines (or servers)
understand the user’s
preferences to be able to
deliver web content
specifically targetting the
user.
