[Air-L] Web 2.0

[Robert Ackland]

Hello,

I co-athored the following paper:

Wu, L. and R. Ackland (2011), "How Web 1.0 Fails: The Mismatch Between 
Hyperlinks and Clickstreams," under review. http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.6095

where we use the following non-technical definition (this is from a 
revised version, slightly different to that on arxiv.org):

Invented by Tim Berners Lee in 1991, the World Wide Web is regarded as 
the “largest human information construct in history” 
(http://webscience.org/webscience.html). The Web is commonly understood 
to have had three overlapping phases of development or eras. Under Web 
1.0, webmasters provide content that is consumed by users, while Web 2.0 
blurs the distinction between webmasters and users, with blogging tools, 
social network sites (e.g. Facebook) and microblog services (e.g. 
Twitter) enabling non-technical people to both produce and consume 
content (“prosumption”) [1]. Web 3.0, or the Semantic Web, involves 
technologies that make the Web more machine-readable, leading to a “web 
of data”, which is an evolution of the Web 1.0 “web of
documents” [2].
