The Semantic Web
The semantic web is set to become a "practical reality." In this book, readers learn to use current standards and technologies to develop semantic web applications. A single technology is described and demonstrated in each chapter to solve actual problems and instill a knowledge of semantic standards, how they support portability, and how to merge data in new ways.
