Walking down the street to my next business appointment, my eye is caught by a handbag, through a shop window, that is exactly what my wife expects for her birthday. I get into the shop, buy the handbag and
get back to the street with a cumbersome packet that I will need to carry during the whole day.
The example

Now I have the following request:
« Within five minutes, let this parcel be taken by a carrier that will deliver it to my home tonight at the best price »
The “semantic” request
This request is way more complex than the well-known example by John Markoff in the NY Times which has originated the Semantic Web trend for Web 3.0 (November 12,2006)
“I am looking for a warm place to vacation and I have a budget of $3,000 and I have an 11-year-old chid”

www.postweb3.com How will this be solved ?
As an e-box community member I instantly get connected to their web services platform through my cell phone in order to know the closest Self Service Automated Postal Facility and its related access plan.
I may enter the point and open one of the secured vault available using this same cell phone of mine
As soon as the parcel is in a vault I tell E-BOX Open Web Service Platform which delivery address, such as my already registered personal one, and which services are needed, such as express, low cost, sustainable, etc.
Closing the vault door settles the whole transaction

www.postweb3.com Which technologies ?
I have been identified and geolocalized thanks to my cell phone (Wireless internet communication)
Belonging to the e-box community I am entitled access to the Automated Postal Facility closest to where I am (Mash-up)
The item that I have put in an e-box vault has automatically been identified and real time gets a unique ID associated to the set of data that describes the delivery and my personal preferences (M2M technologies)
The E-BOX web services platform will automatically select/notify the related carrier(s) and transfer instructions for parcel withdrawal, address and access code, delivery options, payment, to them (Supply Chain Management, Data Base Management)
The more members in the community the denser and more efficient the service and its impact in terms of mutual involvement and contribution to greenhouse effect decrease (Web 2.0 services)

Is it Web 3.0 ?
