Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4,5
Rationale: The term Web 2.0 has yet to be defined; however, it has been described as consisting of a set of core characteristics including: user-centered design, crowd-sourcing, Web as platform, collaboration, power decentralization, dynamic content, SaaS (Software as a Service), and rich user experience (Sharma, 2008). No formal updates to the World Wide Web technical specifications have occurred. The term merely denotes the evolution in WWW use and versatility, which according to WWW inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, is precisely what he intended in the first place.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: The shift toward evidence-based practice and outcomes research requires a massive amount of clinical data and the amount of data collected and stored is growing exponentially. This process requires the collection of the right information in its entirety. Special analysis using statistics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies are needed to provide useful information about patterns and relationships.
