Semantic Web: Concepts, Technologies and Applications by Karin Breitman,Marco Antonio Casanova,Walt Truszkowski Pdf

The Web is growing at an astounding pace surpassing the 8 billion page mark. However, most pages are still designed for human consumption and cannot be processed by machines. 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.

Introduction to the Semantic Web by Gabriel P. C. Fung Pdf

According to W3C, the Semantic Web is a "web of data" that enables machines to understand the meaning (semantics) of the data/information presented in the World Wide Web. It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other, enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users. With more research about semantic web in research organizations and in industry, the Semantic Web is quickly emerging as a well-recognized and important area of computer science. This book, Introduction to the Semantic Web: Concepts, Technologies and Applications, provides a quick review and discussion on some key problems in the semantic web. Specifically, this book focuses on the following emerging areas/questions: how we can make use of the semantic web and its technologies to improve searching (Chapter 1 to Chapter 3), what is the relationship between web services and the semantic web (Chapter 4 and Chapter 5), how we can develop social semantic web via social tagging (Chapter 6), how we can improve work collaboration and resources allocation by using semantic web (Chapter 7 and Chapter 9), what are the major privacy concerns in the semantic web (Chapter 10 and Chapter 11), and how to semantic web via data mining, Semantic Web Constraint Language and Web Ontology Language (Chapter 12 to Chapter 14). This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate students and postgraduate students. It takes a practical approach rather than a conceptual approach. It offers a truly reader-friendly way to get to the subject related to the semantic web, making it the ideal resources for any student who is new to this subject and providing a definitive guide to anyone in this vibrant and evolving discipline. This book is an invaluable companion for students from their first encounter with the subject to more advanced studies, while the full-color artworks are designed to present the key concepts with simplicity, clarity and consistency.

Handbook of Semantic Web Technologies by John Domingue,Dieter Fensel,James A. Hendler Pdf

After years of mostly theoretical research, Semantic Web Technologies are now reaching out into application areas like bioinformatics, eCommerce, eGovernment, or Social Webs. Applications like genomic ontologies, semantic web services, automated catalogue alignment, ontology matching, or blogs and social networks are constantly increasing, often driven or at least backed up by companies like Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and others. The need to leverage the potential of combining information in a meaningful way in order to be able to benefit from the Web will create further demand for and interest in Semantic Web research. This movement, based on the growing maturity of related research results, necessitates a reliable reference source from which beginners to the field can draw a first basic knowledge of the main underlying technologies as well as state-of-the-art application areas. This handbook, put together by three leading authorities in the field, and supported by an advisory board of highly reputed researchers, fulfils exactly this need. It is the first dedicated reference work in this field, collecting contributions about both the technical foundations of the Semantic Web as well as their main usage in other scientific fields like life sciences, engineering, business, or education.

Semantic Web Technologies by John Davies,Rudi Studer,Paul Warren Pdf

The Semantic Web combines the descriptive languages RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language), with the data-centric, customizable XML (eXtensible Mark-up Language) to provide descriptions of the content of Web documents. These machine-interpretable descriptions allow more intelligent software systems to be written, automating the analysis and exploitation of web-based information. Software agents will be able to create automatically new services from already published services, with potentially huge implications for models of e-Business. Semantic Web Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of key semantic knowledge technologies and research. The authors explain (semi-)automatic ontology generation and metadata extraction in depth, along with ontology management and mediation. Further chapters examine how Semantic Web technology is being applied in knowledge management (“Semantic Information Access”) and in the next generation of Web services. Semantic Web Technologies: Provides a comprehensive exposition of the state-of-the art in Semantic Web research and key technologies. Explains the use of ontologies and metadata to achieve machine-interpretability. Describes methods for ontology learning and metadata generation. Discusses ontology management and evolution, covering ontology change detection and propagation, ontology dependency and mediation. Illustrates the theoretical concepts with three case studies on industrial applications in digital libraries, the legal sector and the telecommunication industry. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students, academic and industrial researchers in the field will all find Semantic Web Technologies an essential guide to the technologies of the Semantic Web.

Semantic Web by Ravi Kumar Jain Bandamutha Pdf

Today, the Internet has evolved into a dynamic information warehouse, housing variety of data in diverse data formats. Each data element on the web has a meaning and context attached to it that defines its semantics. The users on Internet need the searched data to be compiled at a faster pace also taking into consideration the relevance of the data. Today, the most advanced search engines facilitate retrieving data from the web on the basis of matching and ranking but not on the basis of semantics of the search elements. This limitation of search engines is not due to limitation of search technologies, but due to the very nature of the Web. Most of the Web's contents today are designed for humans to read, not for computer programs to manipulate meaningfully. Computers can adeptly parse Web pages for layout and routine processing - here a header, there a link to another page. A new technology in which computers become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web - the content, links, and transactions - is emerging. This will create an environment, where software agents on the web can readily carry out sophisticated tasks for users, based on the semantics of the data elements present on the web pages. This changes the very nature of the web from non-semantic to semantic. The Semantic Web brings to the Web the idea of having data defined and linked in a way that it can be used for more effective discovery, automation, integration, and reuse across various applications. This book focuses on the concept, evolution, and some of the issues associated with semantic web.
