Day two of WEB30 consists of an article published in Scientific American.com.  The article was written by Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila.

In 1989 Tim Berners-Lee invented the World-Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory.

Written in 2001, the paper explores the 3rd generation of the Web – Web 3.0.  Topics such as expressing meaning, knowledge representation, and the evolution of knowledge. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Like the Internet, the Semantic Web will be as decentralized as possible,  Such Web-like systems generate a lot of excitement as every level, from major corporation to individual user, and provide benefits that are hard or impossible to predict in advance.

The article is uploaded to Scribd.com.
