Overview
- Exposure to the holistic picture of the Semantic Web as opposed to skewed perspectives available in other works. This gives students (graduate, undergraduate) and practitioners alike a realistic appreciation of the issues involved and eliminates the “hype”
- Understand the synergies between various component technologies related to the Semantic Web and Web Services. This could be a source for new, exciting and cross-disciplinary research problems for graduate students
- Lots of examples from bioinformatics, geosciences, and other application areas
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Data-Centric Systems and Applications (DCSA)
