Just what is "web 3.0"? What steps are moving us towards a new type of web? What advantage will this new type of web provide? This article is a look at what steps are being taken to make the web more semantic and easier to access programatically and covers several companies that are now offering solutions to help existing website owners make their content more accessible and semantic.
You’re getting ready to face the board with your annual budget assessment and projections in hand.
