Well it's not entirely clear

But my opinion is that if the architecture is the same, it's Web I.

The new architectures available, predominantly the arrival of web services, are Web II.

So for example a site like I play with to try things out (never published, sits on my localhost) uses DotNetNuke. That's basically a framework which allows you to create sections, menus, articles, etc within it's own environment and SQL Server DB, but large parts of the visible site are also external applications hosted in IFrames, news headlines obtained from RSS and seamlessly displayed alongside internal news items, weather reports for areas reported about in the news obtained via web services, etc.

Web II is about distributed architecture in my opinion. It's the only thing which distinguishes the web of today from the web of the last century.

Multimedia is, in my opinion, simply a case of improved software, hardware and bandwidth. Not an evolution of architecture.
