The preexisting internet utilizes Web 2.0 technology that is designed to be read by humans, not machines. For this reason it is very difficult for the search engines to accurately index information. The future internet is the vision of a semantic web. Web 3.0, known as the intelligent web, will be able to do more of the work that is involved with locating the information that would be most valuable to the user experience.
The Semantic Web has been defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as the model and technologies that make up Web 3.0. These technologies include several languages that help encode documents into machine readable form; Web Ontology Language (OWL), RDF Schema (RDFS), Web Ontology Language (OWL), Resource Description Framework (RDF), Extensible Markup Language (XML), N-Triples and Notation 3.
These languages and technologies, while not widely used, exist and are being tested in a variety of different projects. In addition to these technologies there are many other technologies being tested in the form of microformats.
The future internet will be capable of thoroughly analyzing information in the form of content, links upon pages, interactions between people and between computers. This internet will be able to analyze, then categorize and index everything, into every form imaginable.
The internet in its current state is built mainly by Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). There has been many attempts to extend HTML's capabilities utilizing microformats to make for machine readable content. While these processes have been very effective, they still can not analyze and categorize information like Web 3.0 technologies can.
With semantic technology a computer can actually process knowledge through the use of machine readable descriptions. These new technologies also allow computers to do tedious research and information gathering that can take hours for a person to perform using the web in its current state. In addition, the creation of Web 3.0 content will be written with semantic markup that will be automated by machines, making the job of the creator of the content much more efficient.
The current internet consists of over 24 billion pages, but until all the pages of the internet consist of pages that utilize Web 3.0 technologies the effectiveness of these technologies will not be fully realized. The transition into Web 3.0 is a daunting task. It appears that this transition will be a slow one, but with the rate the internet is expanding and the human dedication to it, it is expected to be common place technology in an estimated 3-5 years.
So what does this all mean for you, the user? The end result will be a much more intelligent web. A web that content can be created for much more efficiently and that can index information much more accurately, resulting in an internet that mimics artificial intelligence.
