Abstract: The paper aims to cover the main contributors to the development of Web 3.0 and to explore their different views on the evolution of the World Wide Web by creating a comprising image on the key theories, models, and frameworks in the evolution of Web 3.0. We used a qualitative research method, more precisely we conducted a literature review to identify the main characteristics of Web 3.0. Based on the selected papers we revealed the evolution of Web 3.0 by investigating a large variety of dimensions. Findings unfold to reveal the chronological publication of studies, main journals, and research methodology used in studies, along with future research directions. Furthermore, we performed an in-depth analysis to of the selected paper to discover a taxonomy of studies by key theories, models, and frameworks, features, technologies, main theories on the evolution of Web 3.0. As this is still a nascent topic, future research directions must focus on both qualitative and quantitative studies covering a wide spectrum of Web 3.0 stakeholders. The originality of the research derives not only from stating the evolution of Web 3.0 but also from the comparison between Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0, and Web 4.0 we performed in order to hint towards the promise of the future in terms of opportunities and strengths.
