Web 2.0 : Dynamic Web Pages

■  A dynamic web page is a web page that displays

different content each time it's viewed.
–  For example, the page may change with the time
of day, the user that accesses the webpage, or
the type of user interaction.
■  There are two types of dynamic web pages:
–  CLIENT-SIDE SCRIPTING
–  SERVER-SIDE SCRIPTING
8
Web 2.0 : Dynamic Web Pages

■  When WWW was invented, most web pages were

static.
–  Static (also known as flat page or stationary page)
in the same that the page “as is” and cannot be
manipulated by the user.
–  This referred to as Web 1.0.

9
Web 2.0 : Dynamic Web Pages
■  Example of Web 2.0
–  Social Networking sites - Blogs
–  Video sharing sites - Wikis
■  Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with the page
known as DYNAMIC PAGE; instead of just reading a
page, the user may be able to comment or create a
user account. Dynamic page refers to the web pages
that are affected by user input or preference.

10
Features of Web 2.0

■  Folksonomy
–  allows users to categorize and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen keywords
(e.g. tagging).
–  Popular social networking sites such as Twitter,
Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with a
pound sign (#) or hashtag.

11
Features of Web 2.0

■  Rich User Interface

–  content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input.
–  An example would be a website that shows local
content. In the case of social networking sites, when
logged on, your account is used to modify what you
see in their website

12
Features of Web 2.0

■  User Participation
–  the owner of website is not the only one who is able
to put content.
–  Others are able to place a content on their own by
means of comments, reviews, and evaluation.

13
Features of Web 2.0

■  Long Tail
–  services are offered on demand rather than on a one-
time purchase.
–  This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan that
charges you for the amount of time you spent on
Internet or a data plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.

14
Features of Web 2.0

■  Software as a Service
–  Users will subscribe to a software only when needed
rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper
option if you do not always need to use software.

■  For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based

application that allows the user to create and edit
word processing and spreadsheet documents online.

15
Features of Web 2.0

■  Mass Participation
–  Diverse information sharing through universal web
access.
–  Since most users can use the internet, Web 2.0’s
content is based on people from various cultures.

16
Web 3.0 and Semantic Web

■  Semantic Web
–  is a movement led by the World Wide Web
Consortium(W3C).
–  The semantic web provides a framework that allows
data to be shared and reuse to deliver web content
specifically targeting the user

17
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of:

–  Compatibility
■  HTML files and current web browsers could not
support Web 3.0.
–  Security
■  The user’s security is also question since the
machine is saving his or her preferences.
–  Vastness
■  The World Wide Web already contains billions of
web pages.
18
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of:

–  Vagueness
■  Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and
“small” would depend to the user.
–  Logic
■  Since machines use logic, there are certain
limitations for a computer to be able to predict
what the user is referring to at a given time.

– is the synergy of
