Rajnish Sharma (Systems Officer, UPTEC Computer Consultancy) believes that, "The next generation of the Web is Web 3.0, will make tasks like your search faster and easier. Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. The browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you. The Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions. Eventually you might be able to ask your browser open questions like 'where should I go for lunch?' Your browser would consult its records of what you like and dislike, take into account your current location and then suggest a list of restaurants." - Quoted from wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0#Web_3.0

This functionality will not be with the browser, but with the Platform - the emerging core service of the new web that would collect and make sense of the information about the users, regardless of the access device and media - be it mobile phone, notebook, or even real live conversation. My blog is dedicated to the emerging Platform, to the near future of the Internet.

The GINI-SA Project of the EU

The GINI-SA Project of the EU Lefteris Leontaridis , NetSmart S.A. GINI-SA is a Support Action for the EC which aims to analyse how a Personalized Identity Management (PIM) ecosystem in which individuals can manage their own digital identities and control the exchange of their identity information.  Under the GINI vision, individuals would manage their identities by means of an Individual Digital Identity (‘INDI’). An INDI can be described as a self-generated and self-managed digital identity, which is verifiable against one or more authoritative data sources.  Once created, users would have the ability to link their INDI with authoritative identity data maintained by both public- and private-sector entities. This data (or links thereto) could then be presented by the user towards relying parties. The user might wish to do this in order to meet transactional requirements (e.g., access control conditions set by a relying party) or underpin her trustworthiness towards others i
