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. To many observers “Web 2.0” appears to be a loose collection of recently developed concepts and technologies including Weblogs, Wikis, podcasts, Web feeds and other forms of collaborative publishing. Added to this mix are social software, Web APIs, Web standards, online Web services, AJAX, and more. There are common unifying goals in Web 2.0 which suggest that rather than being based on new technologies it instead represents a natural evolution of World Wide Web applications and services. As a result, the concepts incorporated in“Web 2.0”should be strongly considered in the development of Web Information Systems
