Web 2.0 and Beyond: Principles and Technologies draws on the
author 's iceberg model of Web 2.0, which places the social Web at
the tip of the iceberg underpinned by a framework of technologies
and ideas. The author incorporates research from a range of areas,
including business, economics, information science, law, media
studies, psychology, social informatics and sociology. This
multidisciplinary perspective illustrates not only the wide
implications of computing but also how other areas interpret what
computer science is doing.
After an introductory chapter, the book is divided into three
sections. The first one discusses the underlying ideas and
principles, including user-generated content, the architecture of
participation, data on an epic scale, harnessing the power of the
crowd, openness and the network effect and Web topology. The second
section chronologically covers the main types of Web 2.0 services
blogs, wikis, social networks, media sharing sites, social
bookmarking and microblogging. Each chapter in this section looks
at how the service is used, how it was developed and the technology
involved, important research themes and findings from the
literature. The final section presents the technologies and
standards that underpin the operation of Web 2.0 and goes beyond
this to explore such topics as the Semantic Web, cloud computing
and Web Science.
Suitable for nonexperts, students and computer scientists, this
book provides an accessible and engaging explanation of Web 2.0 and
its wider context yet is still grounded in the rigour of computer
science. It takes readers through all aspects of Web 2.0, from the
development of technologies to current services.
