Semantic Web Programming

0.0

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. The reader will benefit from the authors' years of experience in developing large-scale semantic web solutions, building semantic web tools, and contributing to the actual semantic web standards. The reader will not only emerge with an understanding of this new powerful technology but will be able to apply it directly to his/her real-world challenges. Key Features Four sections with a total of 17 chapters (25-40 pages each), 1 integrated example throughout Section 2 and 3, 10 Major Coded Applications, 25 small code examples and 25 figures. 500pgs and Appendix with reference constructs Companion website with full code including the ability to contribute, reference section, FAQ, discussion forum, and semantic blog
