Abstract

“Web 2.0”is rapidly becoming a buzzword in the Web design and development communities. Despite this attention, a definition of the term and its scope are still evolving.

Added to this mix are social software, Web APIs, Web standards, online Web services, AJAX, and more.

As a result, the concepts incorporated in“Web 2.0”should be strongly considered in the development of Web Information Systems
