Both Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 were linked directly to new stages in the development of e-business. Whereas the distinction between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 became widely accepted in literature and practice, we are merely at the beginning of the possibilities arising from current trends culminating in our information society. Information emerges increasingly as a major factor of production, allowing the activation of innovative business opportunities. However, over the past years, a sheer explosion of supplies has taken place. This development is both a blessing and a curse as it leads to an oversupply of information within the World Wide Web. Thus, the time needed for finding required information may take longer eventually. Therefore, a next generation technology is needed being capable to cope with these challenges. Due to the logic of this chain of ideas, Web 3.0 technologies are characterized particularly by demand-orientated systems, i.e. demand for objects and services are at the centre. Starting point are demand-driven registration and specification systems. The consumer is at the centre of these processes and will gain individual help, comparable to an information desk. Not only information but also individual products and services may be released (customized products). Against the background of an increasing information overload, the question to be asked is how technological and market-oriented future developments will cope with these challenges. This chapter aims at clarifying this overall development with the objective of giving impulses for the 3rd generation of e-business. For this purpose, the characteristics of each generation (Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0) are clearly highlighted.

Information Finding

Tourism activities are highly dependent on spatial information. Finding the most interesting travel destinations and attractions and planning a trip are still open research issues to GIScience research applied to the tourism domain. Nowadays, huge amounts of information are available over the world wide web that may be useful in planning a visit to destinations and attractions. However, it is often time consuming for a user to select the most interesting destinations and attractions and plan a trip according to his own preferences. Tourism recommender systems (TRSs) can be used to overcome this information overload problem and to propose items taking into account the user preferences. This chapter reviews related topics in tourism recommender systems including different tourism recommendation approaches and user profile representation methods applied in the tourism domain. The authors illustrate the potential of tourism recommender systems as applied to the tourism domain by the implementation of an illustrative geospatial collaborative recommender system using the Foursquare dataset.

The emergence of the World Wide Web made available massive amounts of data. This data, created and disseminated from many different sources, is prepared and linked in a way that is well-suited for display purposes, but automation, integration, interoperability or context-oriented search can hardly be implemented. Hence, the Semantic Web aims at promoting global information integration and semantic interoperability, through the use of metadata, ontologies and inference mechanisms. This chapter presents a Semantic Model for Tourism (SeMoT), designed for building Semantic Web enabled applications for the planning and management of touristic itineraries, taking into account the new requirements of more demanding and culturally evolved tourists. It includes an introduction to relevant tourism concepts, an overview of current trends in Web Semantics research and a presentation of the architecture, main features and a selection of representative ontologies that compose the SeMoT.

Insight Into

The world is hungry for knowledge and quickly-producing researchers of varying caliber who are less dependent on the physical space than ever before. This presents a number of challenges to librarians, out of which issues related to technology stand out prominently. How can the library pave roads to curated digital content and make it easily accessible from any location? How does it remain relevant in the age of Google, sophisticated piracy and the open access movement? The chapter begins with an overview of IP-based and federated access technologies, touching on less-used methods as well. Personally-conducted interviews with library industry experts aim to determine current trends in order to provide a collective insight into future developments. These include the widespread migration towards cloud-based services, the global RA21 initiative, the open access movement, the need for better statistics, and new ways of content delivery, all of which affect libraries' demands for remote access in different ways.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to define Web 3.0 and discuss the underlying technologies, identify new opportunities and highlight potential challenges that are associated with the evolution to Web 3.0 technologies. Design/methodology/approach A non-empirical study reviewing papers published in accredited research journals, articles and whitepapers and websites was conducted. To add scientific rigour to a literature review, a four-stage approach, as suggested by Sylvester et al. (2011), was used. Findings The World Wide Web (henceforth referred to as the Web) is recognised as the fastest growing publication medium of all time. To stay competitive, it is crucial to stay up to date with technological trends. The Web matures in its own unique way. From the static informative characteristics of Web 1.0, it progressed into the interactive experience Web 2.0 provides. The next phase of Web evolution, Web 3.0, is already in progress. Web 3.0 entails an integrated Web experience where the machine will be able to understand and catalogue data in a manner similar to humans. This will facilitate a world wide data warehouse where any format of data can be shared and understood by any device over any network. The evolution of the Web will bring forth new opportunities and challenges. Opportunities identified can mainly be characterised as the autonomous integration of data and services which increase the pre-existing capabilities of Web services, as well as the creation of new functionalities. The challenges mainly concern unauthorised access and manipulation of data, autonomous initiation of actions and the development of harmful scripts and languages. Practical implications The findings will assist data managers to identify future opportunities while considering negative impacts and understanding the underlying technologies associated with the structure and storage of electronic information. The research will assist anyone in the data and information management industry to identify opportunities and mitigate risk. Originality/value Many organisations were caught off guard by the evolution of the Web to Web 2.0. Organisations, and in particular anyone in the data and information management industry, need to be ready and acquire knowledge about the opportunities and challenges arising from Web 3.0 technologies.

Access Information

The explosion of information in the World Wide Web is overwhelming for readers with limitless information. Large internet articles or journals are often cumbersome to read as well as comprehend. More often than not, readers are immersed in a pool of information with limited time to assimilate all of the articles. As technology advances, it becomes more convenient to access information on-the-go, i.e., portability of information by utilizing mobile devices. In this research, a semantic and syntatic based summarization is implemented in a text summarizer to solve the information overload problem whilst providing a more coherent summary. The objective is to integrate WordNet into the proposed system aka TextSumIt which condenses lengthy documents into summarized text. The empirical experiments show that it produces satisfactory preliminary results on Android mobile phones.

With the explosive growth of the World Wide Web and the rise of social media, new approaches in Music Recommendation evolve. The current study investigates how blogs and micro-blogs can improve the perceived quality of music recommendation. A literature review and expert interviews are conducted to identify important topics regarding (micro-) blogs and Music Recommendation. Subsequently, the prototype Songdice is built and tested in a user-evaluation. Songdice uses music blogs to recommend songs and rationalize those recommendations. The authors' results show that (micro-) blogs can improve the perceived quality of recommendations by creating trust, using personalization and exploiting the quality of music in the long tail. Additional research is required to determine the most effective way to use information from blogs and micro-blogs. The authors' research explores a new area in music recommendation literature and provides a starting point for further research concerning the combination of (micro-) blogs and music recommendation.

The use of technology in personnel recruiting has increased tremendously within the last few years. In particular, the World Wide Web (www) has gained importance for human resource (HR) managers (see, for example, Puck, 2002). Different methods of ehuman resource management have been developed, among them electronic recruiting. According to Lee (2005), “e-recruiting is the second largest application in the e-commerce area” (p. 493). Anyhow, research results on electronic recruiting are relatively scarce and the existing studies are published in a number of different disciplines and publication types. Given both the relevance and the scarce results this chapter aims to review the existing studies and to summarize their findings. To do so, we explain the two major methods of electronic recruiting—internal corporate Web site recruiting and external online recruiting—and discuss their benefits and pitfalls from the perspective of employing companies. Finally, we present possible future developments in the field.
