1. Web 3.0 eConnection to Artificial Intelligence Presented by Ken Sears, University of Texas

2. Web 3.0 • What is it ?

3. What is Web 3.0 ? • The changes we are seeing now may prove to be the mostsignificantand the largest change tothetraditionalsoftware industry, ever! • Web 3.0 is about replacing existing software platforms with a new generation of platforms as a service.

4. Let’s Explore the Trends • Expansion of SaaS (Without Limits) • The Semantic Web (The Data Web) • 3D Spaces (Now for Business)

5. Trends - Client Server to SaaS • 10 years coming - Client-Server to SaaS • Multi-tenant internet Super Applications • Super Apps utilized by the enterprise • Web-based apps have generated two massive changes

6. What is Web 3.0 ? • To place Web 3.0 in perspective we must first look at Web 1.0 and Web 2.0

7. Web 1.0 Powerful Applications • News, music and everything else is moved to digital • Web sites become super applications • Ease of use, scale, and a huge level of functionality. • Knowledge and transactions of goods became instant • Global markets now at the command of individual consumers and businesses

8. Web 2.0 • Social Networking - Anyone can participate in the content creation • User-generated content, collaboration, & community • Content isn’t fixed publication—it changes daily • More companies enter the emerging SaaS • YouTube, Flickr, Blogspot, MySpace, FaceBook

9. Web 2.0 - Mashups • Development and utilization of web services • Most sites you visit have a web service running in the background • These services allow you to integrate data between sites through API’s such as you see on Flickr and Amazon • A web application combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source

10. In-House Barriers Push W3.0 • Building massively scalable data centers that are secure, reliable, and highly available is very complex and vary expensive. • Traditional client-server software development is still a painful and complex process • Deployment of applications is still difficult and the cost of maintenance is expensive

11. Web 3.0 Redefined • Web 3.0 is the integration of data on the internet • (Web 1.0) - Data is online + Super Apps • (Web 2.0) - Sites share via API’s and social networks • (Web 3.0) – Plugs into this massive amount of data we have made available on the web • We need to view the internet as a platform

12. Web 3.0 as a Platform • We will see data being integrated and applying it into innovative ways that were never possible before • Imagine The new shopping experience • Imagine The new travel experience • Major web sites will be transformed into web services • Major web sites will expose information to the world.

13. Web 3.0 Open Data • The new reality • ... open data is a competitive advantage • Stop worrying about protecting information !!!!! • Instead start charging for it, by offering an API • …For a small fee for each API call

14. Web 3.0 – Software Development • Big changes to the traditional software industry • Anyone can innovate, anywhere • Code is written, collaborated on, debugged, tested, deployed, and run in the cloud

15. Web 3.0 – Software Development • SaaS apps can be developed, deployed, and evolved far more quickly and cost-effectively than traditional software of the client-server era • CIOs finally break through the innovation backlog created by the cost and complexity of maintaining client-server apps

16. Web 3.0 Global Development • All you need to create an application is an idea, others can then add their talent • Every developer around the world can access the same powerful cloud infrastructures • Because code lives in the cloud, global talent pools can contribute to it • Because it runs in the cloud, a truly global market can subscribe to it as a service

17. Development in the Cloud • No need to purchase application servers and a small army to fine tune and maintain them • Software developers won’t have to build a security and sharing model. The cloud provides these items • Ease of deployment, and depth of functionality • More time given to functionality and meeting client needs

18. Web 3.0 as the Semantic Web • The Semantic Web - coined by TimBerners-Lee, the man who invented the (first) World Wide Web • A place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them • A place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for • Web as a universal medium for data, information, and knowledge exchange

19. Web 3.0 The “Data Web” • The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a family of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications, originally designed as a metadata data model is now accepted as a general method of modeling information through a variety of syntax formats. • The RDF data model is based upon the idea of making statements about resource Web resources in the form of subject-predicate-object expressions, called ''triples'' in RDF terminology

20. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) • Is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web • Full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web • The W3C has 434 members • W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web

21. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) • A general method of modeling information through a variety of syntax formats • Formatted as subject-predicate-object expressions • The subjectdenotes the resource • The predicatedenotes trait or aspects of the resource and expresses a relationship between the subject and the object

22. The RDF Format - Example • "The sky has the color blue" • RDF Triples • [The sky] [ has the color] [ blue] • [[Subject (grammar)|subject]] denoting "the sky“ • [[Predicate (grammar)|predicate]] denoting "has the color“ • [[Object (grammar)|object]] denoting "blue"

23. SPARQL - Searching RDF Data • A standardized query language and API for searching across distributed RDF databases on the Web • The full Semantic Web will widen the scope of data • Both structured data and unstructured content (such as Web pages, documents, etc.) will be accessible

24. Web 3.0 Artificial Intelligence • An extension of the Semantic web concept • Academic research is being conducted to develop software for reasoning, based on description logic and intelligent agents, for example, the ''World Wide Mind'' project • Companies such as IBM and Google are implementing new technologies that are yielding surprising information

25. Web 3.0 and 3D Spaces • Another possible path for Web 3.0 is towards the 3 dimensional vision championed by the Web3D Consortium • Taking the concept realized by Second Life further • Cyber Business meetings and virtual tours • Grocery shopping in a 3D spaces with delivery

26. Web 3.0 Conclusion • It is not a question of if web sites become web services, but when and how • Companies will expose more and more data for profit • Intelligent agents will be more powerful than ever before • Industry will move more Information Systems infrastructure into the Cloud • Applications of the future will be pieced together in a home-grown fashion from the End-User
