Although the Web is growing at an astounding pace, surpassing the 8 billion page mark, most pages are still designed for human consumption and cannot be processed by machines. Computers are used to display the information, but human intervention is still required to interpret the results. The Semantic Web unleashes a revolution of new possibilities in which content is given formal, machine processable semantics.

This book provides a well-paced introduction to the Semantic Web. It covers a wide range of topics, from new trends (ontologies, rules) to existing technologies (Web Services and software agents) to more formal aspects (logic and inference). It includes: real-world (and complete) examples of the application of Semantic Web concepts; how the technology presented and discussed throughout the book can be extended to other application areas, i.e. Geographic Information Sciences, Bioinformatics and Fine Arts.

Reviews for Semantic Web: Concepts, Technologies and Applications

This two-volume work provides a detailed assessment of different national military forces arrayed across the Gulf region. The authors first address the regional military and security picture, addressing such issues as Islamist terrorism, growing Iranian regional power, Iraq as a power vacuum, broad regional military trends, and the changing nature of military power. Individual chapters are then offered on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen. Each of these chapters profiles the resources, arms, and manpower of each country's military and other security forces (including intelligence agencies) and reviews the country's particular strategic concerns and challenges. -Reference & Research Book News
