W34C -The Equal Opportunity Web

  • The "World Wide Web" is the execution of Tim Berners-Lee's vision of a "Global Hyperlinked Information System".


  • Within such a system,     Linkage is not an optional feature, it is the Building Block that construct the web of information.

  • Any resource incapable of interlinkage is there for, implicitly,
    Not Regarded as Information

  • WEB 1.0 - DIGITIZED PRINT

    The web first introduced itself as digitized print. Documents formerly carried over paper, have become instantly accessible globally. Yet, the content did not truly transition to the web as it did not utilize the capabilities of the new technology used to carry it.

  • WEB 2.0 - SIGNIFICANT LEAP

    Web 2.0 is not a technical term, rather it is a retroname that refers to a significant leap.
    What the name signifies is the true transition of textual content from the paper to the internet. It is characterized by formats that couldn’t have been achieved or consumed over any other preceding technology.

  • TEXTUAL PRIVILEGE



    The "World Wide Web" model consists primarily of three essential components, a markup, a renderer, and a resource identifier, or HTML, browser and URI respectively.
    All 3 components facilitate hyperlinkage, but none more so then the markup, HTML - HyperTEXT Markup Language.

    Textual content was able to transition from the paper to the internet, utilizing the technological capabilities, to create formats that couldn't have been achieved or consumed over any other preceding technology. The same cannot be said about other content types.



  • Video for instance cannot be  Interlinked  or  Enriched ,  Indexed  or  Searched ,  Personalized ,  Reactive  or  Interactive  - for all intents and purposes streamed video may as well be delivered over VCR.



    Only in its 5th iteration, in 2014 did the markup introduce a video tag.
    Prior to HTML5, all non textual resources were left to their own devices. In order to display a video, one had to include non standard plug-ins, like Silverlight or Flash.

    HTML5 by no means fix the disparity. It acknowledged the necessity of providing non textual resources with a standardized or universal display solution, but it treats those resources like decorative items - they are permitted a shelf to stand on, but they are a black box.



  • In the "    Global Hyperlinked Information System", non textual resources are not regarded as information.

Web 3.0



WEB 3.0
TRANSITION OF ALL MEDIA




The significant leap that will constitute WEB 3.0 will be the transition of all content types to the web..

The traditional web model enabled textual formats that were impossible and unimaginable on paper, W34C will do the same for all other content types.



The W34C model is a layer of abstraction that sits atop the "World Wide Web" model, and extends the technological capabilities that are currently available for textual content, to all content types.
