Understanding the New Web Era: Web 3.0, Linked Data, Semantic Web - ReadWriteWeb. I've been following a fascinating 3-part series of posts this week by Greg Boutin, founder of Growthroute Ventures.
The series aimed to tie together 3 big trends, all based around structured data: 1) the still nascent "Web 3.0" concept, 2) the relatively new kid on the structured Web block, Linked Data, and 3) the long-running saga that is the Semantic Web. Greg's series is probably the best explanation I've read all year about the way these trends are converging. In this post I'll highlight some of Greg's thoughts and add some of my own.
