What is the role of cloud computing, web 2.0, and web 3.0 semantic technologies in the coming era of transparent, collaborative, connected e-governance?
The US has a new administration that values transparency, citizen participation, collaboration, information sharing, and internet technology. This presentation maps the role of information and communication technologies (specifically, cloud computing, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0 semantic technologies) in the evolution of government information systems from e-gov (silos with web front ends) to connected governance (e.g. distributed social computing environments for collaborative work, information sharing, knowledge management, and participatory decision-making.)

What are ICT technologies for connected governance?
Cloud computing, Web 2.0, Web 3.0 semantic technologies,
and the next internet.
ICT Technologies for Connected Governance
Historically, when social communication media grow
in capability, pace, scope, or scale, then people use
these media, communication techniques and tools
to construct more complex social arrangements and
practices that increase human capacity to cooperate
at larger and larger scales.

What is the evolution of the internet to 2020?
A tidal wave of four internet growth stages.
The chart to the right depicts four stages of internet
growth.
Web 1.0, was about connecting information and getting
on the net.
Web 2.0 is about connecting people — putting the “I” in
user interface, and the “we” into webs of social
participation.
Web 3.0 is starting now. It’s about representing meanings,
connecting knowledge, and putting these to work in ways
that make our experience of internet more relevant, useful,
and enjoyable.
Web 4.0 will come later. It is about connecting
intelligences in a ubiquitous web where both people and
things reason and communicate together.
Over the next decade, semantic technologies will spawn
multi-billion dollar technology markets that will drive trillion
dollar global economic expansions to transform industries
as well as our experience of the internet.
20. From E-Gov to Connected Governance | Role of ICT in the Era of Connected Governance 20
What are characteristics of the next internet?
Internet of services, things, and 3D interactivity.
Virtualized infrastructure & everything as a service.
21. From E-Gov to Connected Governance | Role of ICT in the Era of Connected Governance 21
What is cloud computing?
Scalable, on-demand, click-and-run, pay-by-the-drink
resources and services provisioned over the internet.
22. From E-Gov to Connected Governance | Role of ICT in the Era of Connected Governance 22
What is Web 2.0?
A web of participation.
Web 2.0 is the the second stage the web. It is the social
web that connects people. It is a web of participation. User
consumes & creates. Sites are interactive, for example:
blogs–keep a web-diary; Wikipedia — free encyclopedia,
anyone edits; Del.icio.us — social bookmarking; mySpace,
openBC – cultivate social relations; Flickr — share photos;
and YouTube–broadcast yourself.
According to Tim OʼReilly, several principles distinguish
web 2.0, for example:
(1) the web as platform
(2) harnessing collective intelligence
(3) data is the next Intel inside
(4) end of the software release cycle
(5) lightweight programming models
(6) software above the level of a single device, and
(7) rich user experiences.
In addition Web 2.0 approaches embrace: remixing data
and services; relation-orientation; the long tail; and bi-
directional interaction. Web 2.0 social computing has both
consumer and enterprise impacts.

What are representative elements of Web 2.0?
User experience, rich media, social computing, and collaboration.
User Experience Rich Media
24. From E-Gov to Connected Governance | Role of ICT in the Era of Connected Governance 24
What key ideas motivate web 2.0 services?
Web-as-platform. Provide a sandbox. Data and users are king.
25. From E-Gov to Connected Governance | Role of ICT in the Era of Connected Governance 25
What is Web 3.0?
A web of meanings and connected knowledge.
Web 3.0 is the third stage of internet evolution that is
starting now. It is a web of meanings. It connects
knowledge. It represents meanings and knowledge about
things so both computers and people can work with them. It
adds new levels of intelligence to the user interface, social
collaboration, applications, and the infrastructure of the
web.
Web 3.0 is not about re-inventing the internet; itʼs about
making the internet more useful, and our experience of it
better. Web 3.0 makes the internet more connected, open,
and intelligent. Users are served by systems that present
personalized information, are context-aware, can link and
share information in relevant ways, connect with relevant
people, better organize the digital life, combine and
integrate processes, arrange dates and tasks, give
meaningful answers instead of data in bulk.
Semantic technologies tap new value by modeling
knowledge, adding intelligence, and enabling learning.
Web 3.0 gives us architectures of learning and knowing over and above
architectures of social participation and “perpetual beta” that emerged
during web 2.0. Web 3.0 systems will gain new knowledge and get better
with use and with scale of adoption.

26. From E-Gov to Connected Governance | Role of ICT in the Era of Connected Governance 26
What are semantic technologies?
Semantic technologies are tools and methods that represent
knowledge separately from documents, data, and program code.
• All programming methods represent knowledge some way in order to
compute using it.
• Knowledge structures that represent meanings, associations, theories,
and know-how about the uses of things are called ontologies.
• Fixed ontologies are relatively static, as in a general ledger. Dynamic
ontologies have changing requirements, e.g.,: connecting and
understanding an evolving web of structured data, documents, and web
pages; composing mobile web services; or discovering and reasoning
about relationships between events being reported on the worldwide web.
• Both Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies can process fixed ontologies
describing resources, services, information, and computing infrastructure.
The technology mix that is right depends on application characteristics.
• Web 3.0 semantic technologies are required when solutions involve
knowledge structures that are changing and dynamic.
