What's Web 3.0 Going to Look Like?

A quote from a New York Times Article by John Markoff:

In contrast, the Holy Grail for developers of the semantic Web is to build a system that can give a reasonable and complete response to a simple question like: ''I'm looking for a warm place to vacation and I have a budget of $3,000. Oh, and I have an 11-year-old child.''

 

Under today's system, such a query can lead to hours of sifting -- through lists of flights, hotel, car rentals -- and the options are often at odds with one another. Under Web 3.0, the same search would ideally call up a complete vacation package that was planned as meticulously as if it had been assembled by a human travel agent.
