Nicholas Carr has been so kind as to provide us with a definition of Web 3.0 : (...) involves the disintegration of digital data and software into modular components that, through the use of simple tools, can be reintegrated into new applications or functions on the fly by either machines or people.

And for the eager beavers amongst you, a semanticist classification of the subsequent Web Waves (again thank you Nicholas):
Web 1.0: web as people talking to machines
Web 2.0: web as people talking to people (through machines)
Web 3.0: web as machines talking to machines
Web 4.0: web as artificial intelligence complementing human race
Web 5.0: web as artificial intelligence supplanting human race
