The semantic web and web 3.0 have a few similarities, such as both people eally fast versions of the internet, but they have many differences too.
Semantic web is a web of data. "The Semantic Web is about two things. It is about common formats for integration and combination of data drawn from diverse sources, where on the original Web mainly concentrated on the interchange of documents. It is also about language for recording how the data relates to real world objects. That allows a person, or a machine, to start off in one database, and then move through an unending set of databases which are connected not by wires but by being about the same thing". Semantic web allows comuters to read the internet.
"Web 3.0 refers to the attempt by technologists to overhaul radically the basic platform of the internet so that it 'understands' the near infinite pieces of information that reside on it and draws connections between them."

I don't think you've really managed to get to grips with this question. You've already told us what some sites say the semantic web is, so you needed to spend more time on what Web 3.0 might be and threfore what the differences are. I will admit that it's not easy, given that many say they are the same. Some say the semantic web is a pipe-dream and some say that Web 3.0 is just hype.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I set these two questions is that if you researched all the questions for the week before you wrote your posts, the issues around 3.0 and semantic could inform your creative writing about 2020. I also wanted you all to experience how socio/techno determinism is embroiled in discourses which serve many functions from the start of a technology's development and introduction.
