Web 2.0 is the term given to describe a second
generation of the World Wide Web that is focused
on the ability for people to collaborate and share
information online. Web
2.0 basically refers to the
transition
from
static
HTML Web pages to a
more dynamic Web that is
more organized and is
based on serving Web
applications to users. Other improved functionality
of Web 2.0 includes open communication with an
emphasis on Web-based communities of users, and more open sharing of
information. Over time Web 2.0 has been used
more as a marketing term than a computerscience-based term. Blogs, wikis, and Web
services are all seen as components of Web 2.0.
Web 2.0 was previously used as a synonym for
Semantic Web, but while the two are similar, they
do
not
share
precisely the same
meaning.
