Abstract

The World Wide Web represents one of the most revolutionary applications in the history of computing and human communication, which is keeping on changing how information is disseminated and retrieved, how business is conducted and how people communicate with each other. As the dimension of the Web increases, the technologies used in its development and the services provided to its users are developing constantly. Even if just few years have passed, in fact, Web 1.0’s static and read-only HTML pages seem now just an old memory. Today the Web has become a dynamic and interactive reality in which more and more people actively participate by creating, sharing, and consuming contents. In this way, the World Wide Web configures itself not only as a ‘Web of data’, but also as a ‘Web of people’ where data and users are interconnected in an unbreakable bond.

The good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world. Thomas Jefferson.
