Welcome to the Web 3.0 Resource Center, in which we explore the next generation of Web business. Many people believe Web 3.0 will be the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web, a project directed by Tim Berners-Lee of the W3C, aims to create a standard for information exchange on the web. To do so, documents must be tagged so that a computer understands the meaning of the data. In the Web 3.0 Resource Center you'll find links to:
