Introduction, Web 2.0
Semantic WebThe meaning of web contents is created most of all by users
Web 2.0: the “participatory” Web
second generation of web-based communities and hosted services which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users. The term gained currency following the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004 Wikipedia
Some definitions…
software programs that allow users to interact and share data with other users
Social software
online tools and platforms that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other. Social media can take many different forms, including text, images, audio, and video
Social media
at technical level: associated to Ajax Language, that integrates Java and HTML for a rapid and media-rich interaction with the Web

Web 2.0: a little history
convergence=
Web 2.0
diffusion of broadband
interaction: growth of online forums,
based on common interest
web applications: Amazon, eBay, Google evolve
successfully
open source standards: adoption of OS standards
supported by critical mass of people
increasing interest in informal and non-
formal learning
Centro METID
Some definitions…
Formal learning takes place in education and training institutions, leading to recognised diplomas and qualifications
Memorandum on Lifelong Learning (European Commission, page 8)
Non-formal learning takes place alongside the mainstream systems of education and training and does not typically lead to formalised certificates. lt can also be provided through organisations or services that have been set up to complement formal systems (such as arts, music and sports classes or private tutoring to prepare for examinations)
Informal learning is a natural accompaniment to everyday life. Informal learning is not necessarily intentional learning, and so may well not be recognised even by individuals themselves as contributing to their knowledge and skills

Definition
Wiki is a software that allows users to create, edit, and link web pages easily.
Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites.
Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".
. Main features:
• Wiki enables documents to be written collaboratively, in a simple way, using a web browser• most wikis keep a record of changes made to wiki pages, therefore authors can revert to an older
version of the page (versioning)
Content Sharing Web 2.0 tools: WIKI
Other features
many wikis are open to the general public without requiring them to register user accounts.
Sometimes logging in for a session is recommended
users can create any number of index or table of contents pages, with hierarchical
categorization or whatever form of organization they like. Wikis generally provide one or
more ways to categorize or tag pages, to support the maintenance of such index pages.
to create links to pages that do not yet exist, as a way to invite others to share what they
know about a new subject

Social bookmarking is a method to store, organize, search and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet by using key words (tags).
Primary features• users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share.

• information about the number of users who bookmarked the same link
• extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, import / export bookmarks from / to browsers, emailing of bookmarks, web annotation…
Tools for collaborative creation of common bibliography: Social Bookmarking
Centro METID
Tags and folksonomy
Tag keyword used to organize bookmarks
Tag clouds are frequently used to visualize the most used tags of a folksonomy
Folksonomy, social classification, social indexingpractice of collaboratively creating and managing tags to index and annotate andcategorize content. Metadata generated not only by experts, but also by creatorsand consumers of the content. Folksonomy is a key concept of Web 2.0
Social bookmarking: some key words
Centro METID
Advantages
1. All tag-based classification of Internet resources (such as web sites) is done by human beings, who understand the content of the resource semantically classified tags, which are hard to find with contemporary search engines resources that are of more use are bookmarked by more users a system will "rank" a resource based on its perceived utility
Disadvantages1. No standard set of keywords2. No standard for the structure of tags (e.g. singular vs. plural, capitalization, etc.)3. Mistagging due to spelling errors, tags with more than one meaning, unclear tags…4. No possibility to define hierarchical relationships between tags

Centro METID
• Production of expert and teacher-authored list of resources• Recommendation of relevant resources to specific users• Production of collaborative, users and student-authored list of resources
Value added of social bookmarking for e-collaboration and learning:
Social bookmarking tools allow (and encourage) shared responsibility for development of contents. Colleagues can cross institutional boundaries to collaborate on projects and research

Flickr is a photo sharing website and web services suite, and an online community platform.
• One of the earliest Web 2.0 applications
• In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository
• Its popularity has been fueled by its innovative online community tools that allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means
Media sharing: Flickr
Centro METID
Primary features
• Flickr asks photo submitters to organize images using tags which allow searchers to find images concerning a certain topic such as place name or subject matter
• Tag clouds provide access to images tagged with the most popular keywords• Flickr also allows users to organize their photos into "sets", or groups of photos that fall
under the same heading. However, sets are more flexible than the traditional folder-based method of organizing files, as one photo can belong to one set, many sets, or none at all. Sets may be grouped into "collections", and collections further grouped into higher-order collections
• Organizer: web application for organizing photos within a Flickr account that can be accessed through the Flickr interface. It allows users to modify tags, descriptions, and set groupings, and to place photos on a world map (a feature provided in conjunction with Yahoo! Maps)
• Some Yahoo! web searches return image results from Flickr, for example "funny photos" or "travel photography"
