Description:
The Web is growing at an astounding pace surpassing the 8 billion
page mark. However, most pages are still designed for human
consumption and cannot be processed by machines. This book
provides a well-paced introduction to the Semantic Web. It covers
a wide range of topics, from new trends (ontologies, rules) to
existing technologies (Web Services and software agents) to more
formal aspects (logic and inference). It includes: real-world
(and complete) examples of the application of Semantic Web
concepts; how the technology presented and discussed throughout
the book can be extended to other application areas.
