What is the 'semantic web'? How does it differ from web 3.0?
The semantic web is an extra feature to the world wide web, which is used to define a web search allowing to satisfy all the users requests. The semantic web is very technological and very clever, as it works by providing information that is understood by computers, so it takes some of the hardwork away from humans when searching and sharing information on the internet.
Web 3.0 is the internet design and plan people in the Silicon valley are working on for 2020. It is similar to the semantic web, as its main feature will be doing most of the work for users, making website suggestions when writing an email. It will be able to understand what users are writing and the main theme of the email, making suggestions for articles on the same subject. Nova Spivach is the evangalist for the next phase development, and she actually names web 3.0 and the semantic web as the same thing.
