The semantic web: semantics for data and services on the web

The Semantic Web is a vision - the idea of having data on the Web defined andlinked in such a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications. Technically, however, there is a widespread misconception that the Semantic Web is primarily a rehash of existing AI and database work focused on encoding knowledge representation formalisms in markup languages such as RDF(S), DAML+OIL or OWL. Kashyap, Bussler, and Moran seek to dispel this notion by presenting the broad dimensions of this emerging Semantic Web and the multi-disciplinary technological underpinnings like machine learning, information retrieval, service-oriented architectures, and grid computing, thus combining the informational and computational aspects needed to realize the full potential of the Semantic Web vision. Exposure to the holistic picture of the Semantic Web as opposed to skewed perspectives available in other works Gives students (graduate, undergraduate) and practitioners alike a realistic appreciation of the issues involved and eliminates the ‘hype’. Understands the synergies between various component technologies related to the Semantic Web and Web Services INDICE: From the contents Part I: Preliminaries. Part II: Information Aspects of the Semantic Web. Part III: Process Aspects of the Semantic Web. Part IV: Standards. Part V: Putting it All Together and Perspective. Part VI: References and Index.
