Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist: Effective Modeling in RDFS and OWL
by Dean Allemang, James Hendler
Average Customer Review: based on 14 reviews.
Customer Review: There are maybe half a dozen or so books in my library that have defined the body of knowledge that has been the subject of my career.

But when one does succinctly and clearly define and describe a s...

Programming the Semantic Web

Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews.
Customer Review: This is the first book I have read on the semantic web that does not give me feeling that I am in outer space. It is also one of the few books that honestly appraises the current, usable state of the semantic web. It is clearly written and took me a day to read (without working the examples). In the beginning, it starts with a pure ...

by Dave McComb
Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews.
Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was skeptical that the book would be relevant to a small company's projects, but I got lots of good ideas that we can start implementing right away. Because the world of the semantic web is still so new, even our small company has a chance to contribute to a lot of the ontologies that will be used i...
