Author Description

Semantic Web Programming takes the semantic web directly and boldly into solving practical, real-world problems. Hands-on code examples drive the understanding of this new powerful technology that can unify and fully leverage the growing sea of data, information, and services available on the Internet. As the code examples build, the reader explores the many technologies that form the semantic web including the knowledge representations such as Resource Description Framework (RDF), Web Ontology Language (OWL), and Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL), the programming interfaces including Jena and Sesame, and an integrated view of the tools to build and support semantic web applications.
