Reviews
From the reviews: "This book benefits from the extensive research track record of the authors combined with experiences gained in three large European projects with a combined budget of over 50M Euros. It is difficult to think of a more useful intellectual source for finding out about the Semantic Web Services area. If you are just embarking on a career as an ICT researcher, you are interested in services and/or semantics, or if you simply wish to catch up on the latest research in the Semantic Web area, then I thoroughly recommend that you read this book." - John Domingue, Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, UK and STI International, Austria "Fensel ... and academic colleagues capture the state of research directed toward moving the Web from its traditional broadcast model into one wherein the Web provides an infrastructure for accomplishing tasks. ... Activities of Web standards bodies, university researchers, and commercial proof-of-concept applications constitute the scope of the book. ... A reasonable index helps ameliorate the acronym issue. For researchers, the extensive end-of-chapter bibliographies are a particularly valuable contribution. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above." (C. Vickery, Choice, Vol. 49 (4), December, 2011)
