Abstract

In the current networked globe, Web has proved itself the most advanced and effective way of communication. During early development of the Internet there was a little notion that the Web development will hit this Internet so hard one day. In such a short time, Web 2.0 and now Web 3.0 has created great heights in the face of Internet industry. The distance from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 has been covered almost in a decade. But soon after Web2.0 a new Web3.0 has evolved which has not only raised the level of interest but also many questions among developers, users and the regulators. Do we really need it at this stage, what are the forcing factors, how it is different from Web2.0 and Semantic Web, what are its social, moral and security implications, is it only about personalization, all these questions have made Web3.0 popular among its stakeholders. In this paper the primary focus will be on the relationship between Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web while the secondary will be on the rising security concerns about rapid and sequential Web developments. However, the changing business models in the future Web 3.0 will also be highlighted. Semantic Web technologies have been considered as a bridge for the technological evolution from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. Efforts have been made to describe the distinctions between the current and the future Web. The boundaries of this research will be further stretched towards the future Internet/optical Internet.
