Semantic Web
A Developers’ Web:
APIs (Amazon Web Services)
Mashups (Yahoo! Pipes)
A website that announces a conference
immediately transfers the time and date of the
conference to the user’s electronic calendar.
The location — address, latitude, longitude,
perhaps even altitude — could be sent to the
user’s GPS device, and the names and
biographies of others invited could be sent to
an instant messenger list.

A hotel application "understands” concepts, such as room
temperature, bed comfort, and hotel price, and can
distinguish between concepts, such as “great”, “almost great”,
and “mostly OK” to provide useful direct answers

Next in line – Web 4.0

→ The Inclusion of taste, touch and smell!
→ A “Learning Web”

“Web 4.0 is the impending state at which all information converges into a great ball of
benevolent self-aware light, and solves every problem from world peace to why Lost
stinks this season. “
