This master thesis deals with privacy and data protection issues arising in social communities in the internet. Together with the usage of social websites, the amount of stored information rises tremendously, which leads to an intensification of privacy-related problems.

This Bachelor thesis describes the theoretical principles of the Semantic Web and Web 2.0. These technologies are definite improvements to World Wide Web in his current form. A convergence application, which is the combination of both technologies, shows the methodology of creating a semantic net. The net is automatically extended with third party data. The comparison of so called Mashup Creator Applications like Yahoo Pipes or Microsoft Popfly shows the benefits of programs for standardized data aggregation. Finally, an analysis as well as an economic inspection of selected tourist platforms shows the strengths and weakness of convergence applications in contrast to conventional web offerings.

This bachelor thesis describes the new buzzword “Web 2.0” and its impact on the World Wide Web. The term was first mentioned on a congress in the year 2004, where Tim O’Reilly described some design patterns, which would revolutionize the Web and its users. Based on these patterns the author analyses the consequences of social participation. The democratization of the internet could change the current media landscape dramatically. But the possibility to issue texts more easily can also have a negative impact on the quality of content.

This paper describes the state of Semantic Web back in 2005.
