Web 3.0 is widely seen the natural evolution of Web 2.0. As the Web has grown and changed so have the
technologies that define it. Web 1.0 served web pages to the user with no other interaction, other than reading the
pages themselves. Web 2.0 offers interactivity through software applications which
enable users to collaborate across platforms. This is evidenced with social
media sites such as Facebook and Twitter among others. Mobile
technology, streaming media, cloud based applications all affect how we access
and use the internet. Web 3.0 is the next step in the evolution
of the Web and how we will use it in the future. One of Web
3.0’s defining features is the Semantic
Web which will implement the classifying and storing of information read
and understood by both machines and humans.http://webtrends.about.com/od/web20/a/what-is-web-30.htm
What does the Semantic Web
do? It provides a common framework which
permits the sharing and reusing of data over platforms and applications. Web 3.0 is still evolving but holds
promise as a platform where automated software will be able to save, transmit,
and apply information which is machine readable and can be sent throughout the
web. The phrase “Semantic Web” was
named by Tim Berners-Lee, who is the inventor of the World Wide Web and director
of the W3C also known as the World Wide Web Consortium, which he founded in
1994. Berners-Lee describes the Semantic
Web as "a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines."
The W3C is responsible for the creation of the Semantic Web standards which are based on the W3C’s Resource
Description Framework, a metadata data model, a language structured for data,
and widely used as a means for describing web resources.

The idea of the Semantic
Network Model was created by Allan M. Collins, M. Ross Quillian and Elizabeth
F. Loftus to cover information that was structured semantically. The network of web pages which are hyperlinked
and human-readable (documents) is extended when metadata that is machine-readable (data) is
added. Web 3.0 will allow automated
agents (bots) to search and read information and execute various tasks on the
user’s part, in a more efficient and logical manner throughout the web. The use of the Semantic Web and its applications is most evident in business or
scientific research, and other fields that employ technologies which
necessitate the sharing and transmitting of data across domains.
