Abstract

In recent years, a new revision of the Web is being proposed. It goes beyond Web 2.0 so it is called the Web 3.0.We concentrate on just one of them, the one called the Semantic Web. This proposal has been technologically developed and improved but its lack of taking off among end-users seems due to problems in the end-user interactive experience. In this paper, we explore this aspect because it is as important to improve Web 2.0 applications as improving Web 3.0 interfaces and it is as important to develop technology as emphasizing its new user interfaces. Thus, we present a usability evaluation carried out through the heuristic evaluation in eleven semantic web applications to detect common misconducts. In addition, we also assess if we can use the same heuristics for a semantic web applications and for a common Web applications.
