Week 9- Question 6 how does the semantic web differ from Web 3.0

Even though the semantic web and web 3.0 are quite similar as they are both improving the internet by using database like systems.

However i believe that the semantic web is just an extension and an added extra of the current web to help create a better result wheras as web 3.0 is supposed to be a completely new type of web all together. I think both would be able to work well without one another. As the semantic web is believed to be an extention of web 2.0 which already exists and is a form of web that we are experiencing now so i think we are more likely to see it develop first. I think the semantic web will quickly transform the web by increasing the internet connection speed and help further developments in computer graphics.

Helen,

My kind of way of understanding these, are that yes, we're currently using web 2.0. When Web 3.0 is developed it will mean things like clearer graphics etc, The semantic web will be compatible with both....this is used more to deal with information more quickly for us....like a personal organizer....for example booking train tickets and a hotel online?

All the best
