Evolution
The world wide web, if we analyze the involved
technologies, evolved through 3 main phases:
1.Static and informative Web
2.Dynamic and interactive Web
3.Integrated and application-oriented Web
E-commerce and e-business are a particular
application domain of Phase 3.

Adopted standards
 URL (uniform resource locator) for finding
web pages
 HTML (hyper text markup language) for
writing web pages
 GIF (graphics interchange format) for
images
 HTTP (hyper text transfer protocol) for
client-server interaction
 TCP/IP (transmission control protocol over
internet protocol) for data transfer

Summary


Web 2.0
 Web applications support social interaction
models
 Peer exchange and user-contributed content
instead of rigid publisher/reader pattern
 Online communities
 Rich,dynamic, interactive user interfaces
 Integration of contents across web sites
(mashups)
