Explorer's Guide to the Semantic Web
Product Description
Written for developers and programmers, this guide
acquaints users with the basic technologies and their interrelations
that will be instrumental in the development of the Semantic Web. Key
technology areas are covered, such as knowledge modeling (RDF, Topic
Maps), agents (DAML, FIPA), and Trust and Authentication. This broad
introduction takes a basic conceptual approach so that developers and
programmers with a wide range of backgrounds understand the essential
nature of the Semantic Web, how it works, and which technologies are
being used or proposed for the Semantic Web's development. Important
points are illustrated with diagrams and code fragments to help develop
a familiarity with the latest Semantic Web initiatives.
