Opis

Equipping you with the tools to explore the world of the semantic Web, this practical resource builds a firm foundation in the concept of the semantic Web, its principal technologies, its real-world applications, and its relevant coding examples. After an introduction to the semantic Web concept, the book discusses its major technical enablers and the relationships among these components. The author then presents several applications of the semantic Web, including Swoogle, FOAF, and a detailed design of a semantic Web search engine. The book concludes with discussions on how to add semantics to a traditional Web service description and how to develop a search engine for semantic Web services.
