The Semantic Web : A Guide to the Future of XML, Web Services, and Knowledge Management

Description: This book is an excellent read : strong on substance without getting too complicated. The book does a good job of balancing the vision with the technology that is going on now. While this book does go into details (ontologies, taxonomies, XML technologies, RDF, web services, etc.), it does it in such a way that it is easy to understand. It is good in that there are some chapters that are geared towards businessmen (CTOs), and others geared for the more technical. Don't think that you can read it all in one sitting, though. I just finished it, but I will probably need to re-read some of the chapters (the chapter on ontologies is very good, but is a lot to digest). I enjoyed this book immensely. Other books I have seen on this subject are way too difficult to understand. ISBN: 0471432571 Release Date: June, 2003 List Price: $24.50 Author: Michael C. Daconta, Leo J. Obrst, Kevin T.
