Week 9 - Difference Between Semantic Web and Web 3.0?

When first thinking are both the semantic web and web 3.0, they seem to be similar, however there is a difference.
They may both be (or suppose to be) ultra fast versions of the internet but the semantic web is a system which allow computers to read the internet, whilst the web 3.0 will be able to connect different items together on your personal computer or laptop through suggestion.
‘In a little over a decade, according to the engineers building the internet of tomorrow, the web will be able to connect every aspect of our digital lives - be it a website, an e-mail, or a file on our PC - to every other aspect. It will know, for instance, when you are typing an e-mail, what the subject of the e-mail is, and be able to suggest websites and books as well as documents, photos and videos you have saved that may be relevant to that topic.’

Although there seems to be some confusion to what the different between the two are. Many have classed the two as the same thing. With both under development and wont be released for another decade at the same point. However with the speed experts say the web 3.0 will develop, this will rely on the semantic web as it will be run by other computers to match the speed, as a human operator will not be able to manage such a task.

  1. I'm not sure I understand your post. Is it just typing too quickly -r is it that you don't really understand the topic -possibly because you've put yourself under too much time pressure?
