Authors Bill Cope, Mary Kalantzis, and Liam Magee provide a crucial and balanced view of the potential of semantic publishing. They discuss how knowledge management could be linked to the world of semantic publishing. Chapter topics include: a history of formal knowledge, the emerging shape of new media and the social web, and paradigms and practices of knowledge management.
