TYPES OF WEBSITE

There are basically two main typesof website - static and dynamic.

A STATIC site is one that is

usually written in plainHTML and what is in thecode of the page is what isdisplayed to the user.

A DYNAMIC site is one that

is written using a server-side scripting language suchas PHP, ASP, JSP, or Cold-fusion.

WEB 2.0 FEATURES

STATIC AND DYNAMIC

The key Features of Web 2.0include:

FOLKSONOMY – allows usersto categorize and classify orarrange information usingfreely chosen keyword (e.g.,tagging). Popular socialnetworking sites such asTwitter, Instagram, Facebook,etc. use tags that start with thepound sign (#). This is alsoreferred to as Hastags.

WEB 2.0 FEATURES


RICH USER EXPERIENCE –content is dynamic and isresponsive to user’s input. Anexample would be a websitethat shows local content. In thecase of social networking sites,when logged on, your accountis used to modify what you seein their website.

WEB 2.0 FEATURES


USER PARTICIPATION– theowner of the website is not theonly one who is able to putcontent. Others are able toplace a content of their own bymeans of comments, reviews,and evaluation. Some websitesallow readers to comment onan article, participate in a poll,or review a specific product(e.g., Amazon.com – onlinestore.)

WEB 2.0 FEATURES


LONG TAIL– service that areoffered on demand rather thanon a one-time purchase. Incertain cases, time-basedpricing is better than file size-based pricing or vice versa.This is synonymous tosubscribing to a data plan thatchanges you for the amount oftime you spent in the internet,or a data plan that charges youfor the amount of bandwidthyou used.

WEB 2.0 FEATURES


SOFTWARE AS A SERVER–users will subscribe to a softwareonly when needed rather thanpurchasing them. This is a cheaperoption if you do not always needto use a software. For instance,Google Docs is a free web-basedapplication that allows the user tocreate and edit word processingand spreadsheet documentsonline. When you need asoftware, like a Word Processor,you can purchase it for a one-timehuge amount and install it in yourcomputer and it is yours forever.

WEB 2.0 FEATURES


MASS PARTICIPATION–diverse information sharingthrough universal web access.Since most users can use theinternet, Web 2.0’s content isbased on people from variouscultures.

WEB 3.0

SEMANTIC WEB

The Semantic Web is a movement led by the WorldWide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C standardencourage web developers to include semantic content intheir web pages. The term was coined by the inventor ofthe World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee. Lee also notedthat the Semantic Web is a component for Web 3.0.

According to the W3C, "The Semantic Webprovides a common framework that allows datato be shared and reused across application,enterprise, and community boundaries".

The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines (orserver) understand the user’s preferences to beable to deliver web content specificallytargeting the user.

For example, when doing a web search in Web 2.0, thetopmost result is based on the preferences of several userswho already searched for the item.

- The search engine then labels it the most common

answer to the search query.

- Though there are instances wherein several

preferences are considered like geographic location,

Web 3.0 aims to do better. This studying personal

preferences of an individual user and showing results

based on those preferences.

- The internet is able to predict the best possible answer to

your question by learning form your previous choices.

For example, when you search for the best restaurantto visit in a specific area.

- First, it may look for your previous visits from other

restaurant and if you have rated them whether good

or bad.

- In return, Web 3.0 will search for restaurants that

have a similar menu, good rating, and budget that fit

your preferences in the past.

WEB 1.0

• HTML

• READ

WEB 2.0

• XML, PHP, RSS, ASP, JSON

• SEARCH, TAG, COLLABORATE

• REAND, WRITE

WEB 3.0

• RDF, XHTML, RDFS, OWL

• PERSONALIZATION, KNOWLEDGE

• READ, WRITE, UNDERSTAND

Compatibility – HTML files and current web bowsers

could not support Web 3.0

Security – The user’s security is also in question

since the machine is saving his or her performances.

Vastness – The World Wide Web already contains

billions of web pages.

WEB 3.0 IS YET TO BE FULLY REALIZED

BECAUSE OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS:

Vagueness– Certain words are imprecise. The

words “old” and “small” would depend on the user.

Logic – Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
