From Web 2.0 to Web 3.0
Web 1.0 = sites, pages, links(static, proprietary, non-interactive)
Web 2.0 = people, participation(dynamic, interactive, connecting)
Web 3.0 = machines(semantic, linked data, context)
16
Semantic web
"a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines”(Tim Berners-Lee)
“… provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries”

Linked data
RDF data that links to other RDF data on the web is Linked data (Linked Open Data)

What does this mean in construction?
1. Linked data connects and provides context to social interactions and to data about physical world we live in.
2. Building Information Modelling (BIM) will increasingly apply Linked Data principles throughout the BIM lifecycle. Finding and linking relevant, related information will become increasingly important.
