SUMMARY OF EVOLUTION OF WORLD WIDE WEB: FROM WEB 1.0 TO WEB 4.0

Introduction

The World Wide Web (commonly known as the web) is the most prominent part of the internet that can be defined as a techno-social system to interact human based on technological network.

Web is the largest transformable-information construct that it idea was introduced by Tim Burner-Lee in 1989 at first was web 1.0 as a web of cognition, web 2.0 as a web of communication, web 3.0 as a web of cooperation and web 4.0 as a web of integration.

Web 1.0

Web 1.0 is the first generation of the web which could be consider as the read-only web and also as a system of cognition. The web 1.0 began as a place of information for businesses to broadcast their information to people. It provided a limited user interaction or content contribution and only allows searching the information and reading it. Websites could only visit the site without any impact or contribution and the linking structure was too weak. The core protocols of web 1.0 were HTTP, HTML & URI.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the business rule for success on that new platform.

Web 2.0 is also known as wisdom web, people-centric web, participative web and read-write web. User of web 2.0 has more interaction and less control. It is not only a new version of web 1.0, flexible web design, creative reuse, update, collaborative content creation and modification. One of outstanding features of web 2.0 is to support collaboration and help gather collective intelligence rather than web 1.0.

The main technologies and services of web 2.0 are included: blogs, really simple syndication (RSS) wikis, mashups, tags folksonomy, and tag cloud.

·         Blogs- the term web blog is included the web pages called the posts which publish chronologically with the most recent first, in journal style.

·         Really Simpl Syndication- is family of web feed format use for syndicating content from blogs or web pages

·         Wikis- Is a web page(or set of web page) that can be easily be edited by anyone who is allowed access

·         Mashups- Is a web page (or web site) that combines information and service from multiple sources on the web

All the tools make adoption of web 2.0 easier, quicker and cheaper. Developers use three basic approach to creat application of web 2.0: Asynchronous JavaScripts and XML(AJAX), Flex, and the Google Web tookkit

·         Asynchronous JavaScripts and XML-AJAX is a web development approach that used in development of most interactive website by retrieving small amount of data from the web server and display it on the web application without reloading the whole page.

·         Flex- Adobe Flex is a software development kit to create and delivers cross platform rich internet application on the web.

·         Google Web Toolkit- Is an open source Java development framework that make creating AJAX application easy.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 as 3^rd generation of the web; with basic idea of defining structure data and link the in order to more effective discovery, automation, integration and reuse across various applications. Web 3.0 tries to link, integrate and analyse data from various data sets to obtain new information stream. It is able to improve data management, support accessibility of mobile internet, simulate creativity and innovation, encourage factor of globalization phenomena, enhance customer’s satisfaction and help to organize collaboration in social web.

Web 3.0 is also known as semantic web that can demonstrate things in the approach which a computer can understand. The main important purpose of the web is to make the web readable by machine not only by humans.

The current web is a web of documents. In some ways like global file system designed for human consumption in which primary objects are documents and links are between documents(or part of them) Semantics web of content and links are implicit and the degree of structure between structure are fairly low.

Semantic web is being to be developed to overcome the problem of current web. Semantic web can be defined as a web of data, in some ways like global database. The of design web of data is machine first, human later. The primary objects are things so links are between things. Semantic of content and links are explicit and the degree of structure between object is high based

The main difference between web 2.0 and web 3.0 is that web 2.0 target on content creativity of user and producers while web 3.0 targets on linked data sets.

Web 4.0

Web 4.0 is still an underground idea in progress and there is no exact definition of how it would be. Web 4.0 is also known as symbiotic web. The dream behind it is the interaction between humans and machines in symbiosis. It will be a mind control interface.

Web 4.0 will be the read-write-concurrency. It will be parallel to the human brain and implies a massive web of highly intelligent to become as an intelligent.

Conclusion

This is a summary overview from the evolution of web. Web 1.0, web2.0, web 3.0 and web 4.0 were described as four generation of the web.
