Abstract: The current trends for the future evolution of the web are without doubt the Semantic Web and Web 2.0. A common perception for these two visions is that they are competing. Nevertheless, it becomes more and more obvious that these two concepts are complementary. Semantic web technologies have been considered as a bridge for the technological evolution from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, the web about recommendation and personalisation. Towards this perspective, in this work, we introduce a framework based on a three-tier architecture that illustrates the potential for combining Web 2.0 mashups and Semantic Web technologies. Based on this framework, we present an application for searching books from Amazon and Half eBay with a focus on personalisation. This implementation purely depends on ontology development, writing of rules (for the personalisation), and on creation of a mashup with the aid of web APIs. However, there are several open issues that must be addressed before such applications can become commonplace. The aim of this work is to be a step towards supporting the development of applications which combine the two trends so as to conduce to the term Web 3.0, which is used to describe the next generation web.
