health records are used in a network that can
only be accessed by authorized health systems and
family members.

Web 3.0
Web 3.0 is a term used to describe the future of
the World Wide Web. Following the introduction of
the phrase "Web 2.0" as a description of the
recent evolution of the Web, many technologists,
journalists, and industry leaders have used the
term "Web 3.0" to hypothesize about a future wave
of Internet innovation.

Web 3.0
People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think
maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable
vector graphics - everything rippling and folding
and looking misty - on Web 2.0 and access to a
semantic Web integrated across a huge space of
data, you'll have access to an unbelievable data
resource. Tim Berners-Lee, A 'more
revolutionary' Web
