Hi.
I have red lot about web 3.0, but I cant find, what technologies it uses. Somewhere were talked about RDF and OWL, but Im not sure. Does anybody know?

Or anybody knows, if there are any schools that are already teaching about web 3.0 or if not, maybe have you some good ideas how should schools start to teach web 3.0 ?

thx!
 
Why?

Seriously.

I don't want to troll cutting edge web topics, as I myself really am into them. However, what's the point of learning something that's so far into the future that you will not be using these skills in production for another five years?

"Web 2.0" still hasn't become completely mainstream (whatever the terms even means). If people were to adopt new browsers at a faster rate, this would not be the case. However, a great number of mainstream folk are still on IE7 or IE8... Or even Firefox 3.6 (which is starting to fall behind the curve on the "bells and whistles").

Also, it's probably hard to define "Web 3.0". When does Web 2.0 end? On HTML5? Well, the trouble is, HTML5 is meant to be the future standard, AFAIK. There are no plans for HTML6. The current cutting edge web technologies, like WebGL, are currently supported in some browsers, at least to some extent, and - I think - we are still in the Web 2.0 era.

All these terms are actually absurd and don't really have a whole lot of meaning, unless you truly define what Web 2.0 is and what exactly it covers.

Mmm... I could go on but there's really no point.

Endrant.
 
I agree with krogen, but maybe if you linked us to some of the stuff you've been reading about "Web 3.0," we can help you figure out which of those technologies you are interested in and how to start learning/using them. OWL and RDF which you mentioned are really standards for a semantic web (which would be the most boring "Web 3.0" ever). IMO, the best effort towards a semantic web right now is schema.org, because it's backed by Google and Bing. If you're interested in getting your site up and running with semantic descriptors, you can start right now and have the data show up in Google if you use schema.org.
 
Heh.. did anyone even figure out what exactly constitutes "Web 2.0"?
 
It's just web dot latest and greatest. No versions anymore. You just use the newest and coolest stuff you want to/can use and degrade gracefully. Or, progressively enhance to the latest and greatest.

Some stuff:

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/encoding/raw-file/tip/Overview.html
All the css3 module specs

http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/ (all the additions to work with the file api and typed arrays etc.)

Latest DOM: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html (includes improvements to events and all kinds of things)

There's also an new spec for rich text editors (document.designMode/contentEditable and the executeCommand API). See http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html

There's a new spec to replace mutation events.

There are proposals for element constructors (instead of using document.createElement). There are proposals for Event constructors that will be implemented in all browsers.

Lots of the stuff above is being implemented already.

etc.
