Web 3.0 is often quoted as the semantic web and the next phase of the Internet.

Vinton Cerf is considered one of the geniuses, or computer scientists, who turned on the Internet in 1983.

Cerf warned that digital things created today -- spreadsheets, documents, presentations as well as mountains of scientific data -- won't be readable in the years and centuries ahead.
Search is such a wonderful and widely debated issue. To me there are three main kinds of search and each is accomplished in different ways. Assume that we have an article indexed with the terms appropriate to the content of that article. These terms are specific to the content, the terms applied are not broad categories unless the article itself is broad. we put limits in the rule base on broad terms so they do not get over productive in search results.
In a world that is moving so fast technology-wise, it is impossible to predict what will be needed or used in a decade, score, or even a year. People and organizations employ new technologies in creative and unanticipated ways. Unexpected developments often give new technologies their greatest value.
