HW #3 – Article 1

In the research for this assignment, I have found several articles, which I think they are all significant and interesting. As a matter of fact, I had a hard time to decide which one to use.

Anyway, here is my approach:

Article Title:

Web 3.0 = (4C +P+VS)

(I know the article was not published recently, but I found it through another blog post: Web 3.0, Where are we?, which was published on February, 2009. )

The article is about this formula: Web 3.0= (4C+P+VS), come up by the author Sramana Mitra, to predict what will be more significant in the future of the Web. The 4Cs in the above equation represent Content, Commerce, Community, and Context; P = Personalization; VS = Vertical Search. Ms. Mitra pointed out that the Content, Context, or Database of the websites would be more personalized, as most of them tend to go this way. And in order to make vertical search works, the content of the website need to be more specific and, what they called, intelligent. That leads to my second article:

Article Title:

What Constitutes “ Intelligent Content”? Interview with Ann Rockley.


Ms. Rockley stated that the content should be structurally rich, semantically aware, discoverable, reusable, reconfigurable and adaptable. The technical terms such as: DITA (Darwin information Typing Architecture) and Content Management, come up to support intelligent content. Even more, some websites has introduced so called intelligent applications. Examples of these applications are Bespin by Mazilla, and Bubbl.us.


Commentary

I think both articles are interesting and significant as they show how the web may go in the future and how one of the industry leaders try to suggest a better way to organize the data in order to improve websites.

Please, let me know what you think of these articles?

P. S.: Comments on the style, the structure, anything you do not like about the blog are welcomed and thank you!
