Arne van ElkMet the contextual web wordt bedoeld dat de software waarmee je het internet op gaat (de browser) begrijpt wat je aan het doen bent en daardoor allerlei handige diensten en verbindingen kan aanbieden. Dit wordt bereikt met semantics, api's, mashups, addons etc.

The combination of the information on the page and the user's behavior creates
the context. Once you understand the user's context, you can be more helpful.
So, contextual technologies have the potential to bite into the pie that today
belongs to search, because it is able to bypass search. -
- Relevancy: understanding the user's context better drives
content relevancy. - Shortcuts: contextual shortcuts reduce the need for raw
search. - Personalization: context is based on user intentions and
history. - Remixing: relevant information from around the web is
instantly available.
Here are the key properties of the contextual web experience:

There are other markup formats that help provide context. For example, popular
add-on Cooliris
offers a markup format for signaling that a site contains images. By placing a
bit of XML code in their home directory, site owners enable users to experience
their images using the stunning 3D visualization developed by Cooliris. Another
markup format, developed by AdaptiveBlue [disclosure: this
is the company I founded], is called ABMeta.
This format allows publishers to annotate pages that contain information about
books, music, movies, wine, restaurants, stocks, and other everyday things.

Jack ParkWe are witnessing the rise of a new kind of web: contextual. You might not have heard or thought about it much yet, but you are already using it today. Search remains the killer app on the web, but context is quickly become a viable contender. Why? Because context is what happens instead of search.

The fact that the page offers an RSS feed creates an obvious context: subscription.

Another form of markup that has been discussed recently is microformats, which offer an XHTML-compliant way of embedding metadata about people, places, events, and reviews in existing web pages.

One of the keys to inferring user context is understanding the underlying information that the user is looking at. This is why the contextual web is related to -- and, to be more precise, is powered by -- semantic web. We have written a lot here on ReadWriteWeb about semantic technologies. Notably, we discussed the difference between the top-down and bottom-up approaches to semantic web, both of which are important for understanding the contextual web.
The bottom-up approach to context is about annotating pages.

Building on the hAtom microformat are Web Slices, introduced by Microsoft in Internet Explorer 8. Web Slices enable publishers to notify users when the information in their web pages changes.

The Contextual web will happen when browsers and websites evolve to recognize what users are trying to do. It is the web with less choice and more meaning, where instead of Googling all the time, we Google once and then the rest of the information is available to us automatically, based on our current context.

dean groomWhat Is The Contextual Web?
Until recently on the web, most sites have not been software - only data, a bunch of flat HTML pages. The software that you used to look at them was, of course, the web browser. The problem was that the browser had no idea what the pages contained, and it did not know what you were doing. Because the browser could not infer your context, it could not help you explore related and relevant information -
