Software-Berners Lee’s original
vision for WWW
“Internet truly accessible
and useful to people”-Popularized by Tom O’
Reilly.
Web 2.0
• The term “Web 2.0” was coined by O’Reilly
Media at a conference in 2004
• Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from
static HTML Web pages to a more dynamic Web
that is more organized and is based on serving
Web applications to users.
• Blogs, Wikis, and Web services are all seen as
components of Web 2.0.
Web 1.0 / Web 2.0
• Web 1.0 was about connecting computers
– dial-up → ISDN → broadband → wireless
• Web 2.0 is about connecting people
– instant messaging & chatrooms
– Skype & VoIP
– social networking sites
– virtual words (Second Life, Club Penguin, etc)
– communities of common interest
– micro blogging (Twitter, etc)
Web3.0-The predicted third generation of the
World Wide Web-It will be about the meaning of data,
personalization, intelligent search.-
personalization of content -igoogle , netvibes
portable personal web-focused on individual streaming - consolidate dynamic content -semantic web widgets -drag a& drop mash ups -user behavior me -onomy -iGoogle,NetVibes -User engagement advertisement
Web 3.0 -Semantic Web of Meaning of data personlization (eg: iGoogle )-Intelligent search & behavioral advertising in other things
Trends for Web 3.0-The Semantic Web
The 3D Web
The Media-Centric Web
The Pervasive Web
Semantic Web
Intelligent System Planning
The semantic web is a vision of
information that can be readily
interpreted by machines, so machines can
perform more of the tedious work
involved in finding, combining, and acting
upon information on the web.
Web 3.0 will call up a complete vacation package that
was planned as meticulously as if it had been assembled
by a human travel agent
The 3D Web-A Web you can walk through-Without leaving your desk,
you can go house hunting
across town or take a tour of
Europe.
•You can even walk through a
Second Life-style virtual
world, surfing for data and
interacting with others in 3D.
The Media-Centric Web-A Web where you can
find media using other
media-not just keywords..You supply, say, a photo
of your favorite painting
and your search engines
turn up hundreds of
similar paintings.
The Pervasive Web-A Web that's everywhere.
On your PC. On your cell
phone. On your clothes
and jewelry. Spread
throughout your home and
office.
• Even your bedroom
windows are online,
checking the weather, so
they know when to open
and close.

What is Cloud Computing
• Cloud Computing refers to the use of computing
resources (hardware and/or software) that reside on a
remote machine and are delivered to the end user as a
service over the Internet.
• Cloud computing is both a trend and a technology to
deliver software and hardware as a service, not as a
product.
• It involves a centralized data center, virtual server
space, and secure transfer of data over the internet.
• More and more vendors host applications on their end
and customers access those applications using the
internet as a communication channel".

QR stands for Quick Response code
• Invented in 1994 by the Toyota Motors
subsidiary Denso Wave to track vehicles and
parts during the manufacturing process
• It is a two dimensional barcode, typically seen
as a white square with black geometric shapes
• It is basically a type of bar code which is
readable by any camera-enabled smart phone
and QR code reader
QR Code - Tools
• QR code Generator
• Smartphone, Desktop (with a camera),
• QR code Scanning Software application, and

Open Data What exactly is it?
• Open refers to ‘open access’ that implies data
must be accessible freely online, available
without technical restrictions to re-use and
provided under open access license that
allows the data to be reused without
limitation.
• “Open data and content can be freely used,
modified, and shared by anyone for any
purpose
Types of Open Data
• Cultural: Data about cultural works and artefacts
• Science: Data that is produced as part of scientific
research
• Statistics: Data produced by statistical offices such as
the census and key socioeconomic indicators.
• Weather and environment: Climate and natural
environment
• Transport: Data such as timetables, routes, on-time
statistics.
• Education: Open data that comes out of education
institutions and that can be exploited/ used by
education institutions
Big Data
Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex
that traditional data processing applications are
inadequate.
Challenges include analysis, capture, data curation,
search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying,
updating and information privacy.
The term often refers simply to the use of predictive
analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other
advanced data analytics methods that extract value from
data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.
Accuracy in big data may lead to more confident decision
making, and better decisions can result in greater
operational efficiency, cost reduction and reduced risk

Webometrics-Also called cybermetrics is a relatively new
information discipline that aims to
quantitatively measure web phenomena.
Webometric techniques include link analysis,
web mention analysis, blog analysis and
search engine evaluation, but from the
perspective of digital library evaluation the
main method is link analysis
Bibliometrics & scientometrics
Bibliometrics and Scientometrics are two
closely-related fields that aim to measure
scientific publications and science in general.
A lot of the research that falls under this topic
involves citation analysis, or examining how
scholars cite one another in publications.
Author citation data can show a lot about
scholar networks and scholarly
communication, linkages between scholars,
and the development of areas of knowledge
over time.
Altmetrics-Altmetrics, or “alternative metrics,” are an emerging
field of new methods for measuring the use and
importance of scholarly articles, particularly in the
sciences.
As opposed to more traditional bibliometrics, such as
Impact Factor, altmetrics provide article-level data and
are based on new electronic sources of information,
such as number of downloads and page views from a
publisher, repository or online reference manager like
Mendeley, or the amount of discussion generated in
online venues such as Twitter or blogs, academic Social
Networking Sites
Altmetrics Tool
• Altmetric.com
• Plum Analytics
• Publish or Perish
• Public Library of Science (PLoS)
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept that
describes a future where everyday physical objects will be
connected to the Internet and be able to identify
themselves to other devices.
The term is closely identified with RFID as the method of
communication, although it also may include other sensor
technologies, wireless technologies or QR codes.
A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a
heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip
transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to
alert the driver when tire pressure is low -- or any other
natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP
address and provided with the ability to transfer data over
a network.
Internet of Things andLibrary Internet of Things and Libraries
•
Access to library and its resources: library
mobile app with map of the library
• RFID circulation management, overdue
reminder, Smart Shelves
• Information Literacy: Self Guided Virtual tour
of the library, when user visit particular
section it will play video or audio
• Location Based Services: status of printer,
computer, scanner, discussion rooms etc.
Blended learning
Blended learning is a formal education program
in which a student learns at least in part through
delivery of content and instruction via digital and
online media with some element of student
control over time, place, path, or pace.
The “flipped” classroom, refers to classes that are
structured almost exclusively around a reversal of
expectations for lectures and homework.
Students are expected to watch lectures online at
home, and do homework while they are in class.
