Semantic Web or Web 2.0
It doesn’t matter how many times I read about Semantic Web on Wikipedia, I will still have trouble understanding its concept as clearly. My understanding is that it tries to put the web information into an extensible sort-of way so that it can be “understandable” by machines (when I say machines, I mean computer programs or future computer generated program) but at the same time can also be presented to human in a form that is described as “natural”. An easy example of this is RSS feeds, which have been widely used in content publishing by the help of Web 2.0 Development. Today, the data that’s being published through RSS can be submitted to many different feed readers and websites. Web 3.0 may have higher ambition towards this by which the Web could even use, digest, understand, compare, and make decision based on all of the data being presented to them in certain formats. Semantic Web will turn the web into a so-called World Wide Database, realizing the concept of “intelligent web”. I could see that this is going to be closely related to the AI field above. Didn’t I mention that this is going to be hard to understand?
Artificial Intelligence or Web 3.0
The true era of conversation, where the real dialog begins. The next generations of browsers as 'smart clients' working online and offline to facilitate connections of one's Artificial Intelligence agents with someone else's Artificial Intelligence agents, similar to how humans currently match up experts with various business opportunities. Our agents will in turn carry out sophisticated tasks for users, making meaningful connections between bits of information so that "computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the Web.
