Abstract The era of Web 1.0 implied the connection of web-based documents via links, which enabled search engines to scan for information and guarantee the search and availability of webpages. Web 2.0 represented the next evolutionary stage. Known as the collaborative web, the emphasis in this case was on the establishment of services and content by the community. Search options were complemented with labelling and frequently undesirable clickstream analysis coupled with push technology-supported information provision. The semantic web is a revolutionary development, which, in addition to processing information by humans, assures the readability of datasets by machines and facilitates communication between devices. In order to promote data and information processing by machines, the semantic web relies on a special ontology allocating the respective meaning to the given data along with relying on the global indexing and naming schemes of the web. Several ontologies emerged with differing basic guidelines while displaying compatibility to the RDF standard ranging from the more semantic description of bibliographical data in libraries to the description of information gained from social networks and human conversations. While Web 3.0 is often used interchangeably with the semantic web, the former one with its intelligent server function exceeds the semantic web. We have to ask ourselves, however, whether we can rely on the accuracy of the obtained data, and we must explore what progress have libraries – expected to increase reliability – made regarding the implementation of semantic data storage.

The Web

The Semantic Web concept is an extension of the web obtained by adding semantics to the current data representation format. It is considered a network of correlating meanings. It is the result of a combination of web-based conceptions and technologies and knowledge representation. Since the internet has gone through many changes and steps in its web versions 1.0, 2.0, and Web 3.0, this last call of smart web, the concept of Web 3.0, is to be associated with the Semantic Web, since technological advances have allowed the internet to be present beyond the devices that were made exactly with the intention of receiving the connection, not limited to computers or smartphones since it has the concept of reading, writing, and execution off-screen, performed by machines. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an updated review of Semantic Web and its technologies showing its technological origins and approaching its success relationship with a concise bibliographic background, categorizing and synthesizing the potential of technologies.

This paper explores the aspects of providing education through E-learning model evaluating its relevance to distance education and for ICT systems. A subset of E-learning is a Web based learning that makes the learning -easier, impressive, structured and properly managed. The paper defines an university ontology describing how e-learning provides resources which are available online and designated cloud that can be delivered anywhere any time among the users. In the proposed model data is stored in designated cloud and users are able to share efficiently the same as it provides services to learner. Provenance or trust with respect to the academic resource is a major concern in these types of models, users accessing data must be trustable which help learners, researchers, developers, and users in future work also. This paper proposes an e-learning model which is well organized and structured, such that the machine responds with the accurate, trustable, desired information and results. The paper defines an ontology for semantic structuring, semantic rendering and applies provenance on suggested ontology to achieve authentic results. It is also desired to establish trust of the source contents of the Semantic Web, with the result that a user receiving data will need to verify whether the received data from source is in fact trustable or not. The defined ontogoly is suitable for consumption of both man and machine in the context of the e-learning and Semantic data rendering Web Keywords

Formulating unambiguous queries in the Semantic Web applications is a challenging task for users. This article presents a new approach in guiding users to formulate clear requests based on their common nature of querying for information. The approach known as the front-end ap proach gives users an overview about the system data through a vir tual data component which stores the extracted metadata of the data storage sources in the form of an ontology. This approach reduces the ambiguities in users’ requests at a very early stage and allows the query process to effectively perform in fulfilling users’ demands in a context-aware manner. Furthermore, the approach provides a powerful query engine, called context-aware query ing, that recommends the appropriate query patterns according to the user’s querying context.

The Way

Digital public sphere is immersed in the present conjuncture of accelerated transformation and probable rupture, which certainly will affect the way we exercise our citizenship in contemporary times. This social and political tsunami is partly based on the change of paradigm of Web 2.0 or Social Web to Web 3.0 or Semantic Web. To clarify such a process, this paper discusses some of the key issues and theoretical positions on public space, from seminal Habermas’s perspective to new problematics raised by the networked society. The author suggests the construction of a Sociological Ontology of Social and Semantic Web, based on a Semantic-Logical Sociology and Methodology. These procedures are applied through the analysis and hermeneutics of a Wikipedia page entitled ‘Web 2.0’, where sociological experimental tools are used, as Semantic-Logical fields, trees and networks, central and peripheral concepts, and trichotomies.

The chapter examines the prospects and challenges of the application of Web 3.0 technologies as they relate to semantic web, federated search, mobile application, and their impact on library services. The principles, features, application, potentiality, and challenges of the technologies vis-à-vis library services form the broad objectives that guided the chapter. Following a brief retrospective review of the developments of web technologies, the chapter discusses Web 3.0 from the context of semantic web, cloud computing, federated search and virtual reference services. It broadens the prospects of Web 3.0 as it affects the provision of web-based services like its flexibility as solution to digital content volatility and ability to widen cloud-based services using open source electronic library software among others. Having expatiated the challenges Web 3.0 portends for web-based library services, the chapter concludes with the need for librarians and users to co-create value for participatory librarianship.

The Web

The heterogeneity and the increasing amount of the news published on the web create challenges in accessing them. In the authors' previous studies, they introduced a semantic web-based sports news aggregation system called BKSport, which manages to generate metadata for every news item. Providing an intuitive and expressive way to retrieve information and exploiting the advantages of semantic search technique is within their consideration. In this paper, they propose a method to transform natural language questions into SPARQL queries, which could be applied to existing semantic data. This method is mainly based on the following tasks: the construction of a semantic model representing a question, detection of ontology vocabularies and knowledge base elements in question, and their mapping to generate a query. Experiments are performed on a set of questions belonging to various categories, and the results show that the proposed method provides high precision.
