Decoding Web 3.0
On Christmas day, 1992, in Geneva, Switzerland, Sir Timothy Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau introduced the world wide web—a system of pages placed on the Internet readable to each other by HTML language—to the Internet. This introduction revolutionized the Internet, an otherwise static system only used by academia and government agencies.
In order to understand the impact of the World Wide Web on the Internet, one must understand their differences. The Internet refers to a system of interconnected computers that communicate with each other through an Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). Computers connected to the Internet consist of an IP address; though, not every computer connected to the Internet connects to the world wide web. While the Internet depends on the interdependence of TCP/IP language, the world wide web depends on HTTP language.
Think of the Internet like a library that consists of various annals and collections. The most popular Internet collection, the world wide web, is accessible to the public. Certain government and medical records may exist on the Internet, but not all are accessible via the world wide web. With the invention of the World Wide Web came a plethora of Web sites meant to disseminate pertinent information to various computer all over the world. Soon, the wrong people discovered ways to use the Berners-Lee’s invention to disseminate malicious information for devious purposes.
In an attempt to counter hackers’ misuse of the Internet, Berners-Lee, along with the World Wide Web Consortium, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the European Union, and various other forward thinking organizations envisioned the future Internet or what Berners-Lee calls the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web will allow users to become creators of web content by creating a seamless web that enables everyone to take the web everywhere. And it will allow people, governments, and other organizations, throughout the world, to create a more user friendly globalized future.
Today, if a person travel just a few thousand miles from their home, and incurs an injury or illness, that person also incurs hours, perhaps days, of unwinding red tape, developed by archaic medical and insurance systems. In response to these archaic systems, the W3 Consortium developed the Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences (HCLS) Interests Group, which is a partner of the W3C Semantic Web Activity.
While participation in the HCLS IG remains voluntary, all group communication will remain public for participating medical organizations. And potential applicants of the HCLS IG must first become members of W3C. The process of becoming a member of W3C and HCLS IG consists of various applications and fees; though, the reward of hard earned membership will allow participating medical communities, throughout the world to interact with each other in a seamless way intended to eliminate archaic medical systems.
Among other innovative movements that arose from the thoughts of the Semantic Web, the Semantic Web Advancement Development (SWAD) developed the Semantic Web Environmental Directory (SWED)—a directory of European environmental organizations. SWAD operated from May of 2002 to October of 2004 to support W3C’s initiatives to bring the Semantic Web to Europe. Developers no longer maintain the site on a daily basis; however, it remains active and membership remains an option. Semantic Portals—web servers that act to upload information provided by participating organizations—differentiate SWED and on-line directories. After participating environmental organizations upload their content to the SWED server, a member will receive an unique code calledRDF, a syntax developed by W3 Consortium specifications, which will identify them and allow them to create clear web-based relationships.
In response to the misuse of SEO content, the W3 Consortium developed this Resource Description FrameWork (RDF) syntax, which uses Data models to define Data elements—atomic units of information—and relationships among Data elements. Data Elements contain the data element name, a data element definition, representation terms, Metadata, and Synonym rings, which will allow web spiders and meta crawlers to search and categorize Web sites with more efficiency. This new syntactical organization of web language will allow Web spiders and Metacrawlers to search Web sites on a micro level, rather than using a macro system that puts the search control in the hands of SEO content writers.
Along with RDF syntax, the Semantic Web will allow organizations to structure themselves into Services Oriented infrastructures (SOI) called Server Grids, database grids, Virtualized Servers and Virtualized Storage. These new systems will take the chaos of Web 2.0, create a seamless stream of information, and disseminate information from the experts to organizations and people.
For visual thinkers, think of Web 2.0 and Google like a garage filled with miscellaneous boxes categorized with miscellaneous names like ‘Junk,’ ‘holidays,’ and ‘memories.’ In Web 2.0, major search engines like Google categorize web sites, according to SEO content, into a Web garage full of boxes. What Google categorizes within terms like ‘junk’ or ‘holidays’ or ‘memories,’ a researcher may or may not consider pertinent information. For instance, if a person wants to research elephants, Google will return about 16,400,000 for users to sort through. The semantic web will consist of many of the same boxes in the same Web garage; though, rather than Web sites categorized under meaningless terms, which will take hours to sort through, experts will categorize and sub-categorize those boxes using RDF. So, rather than searching for elephants and trying to sort through millions of web sites pertaining to elephants, researchers can sort through organized sub topics of elephants, within Data Elements.
The Future Internet or the Semantic Web or Web 3.0 or any other name Web developers give it will allow people, agencies, and societies to gather and share information in a much more linear way that Web 2.0 does not allow for. This more steady flow of information, through less unobstructed channels, will in-turn allow for a more globalized community, as well as for more innovative technologies.
