The Semantic Web – ISWC 2005 by Yolanda Gil,Enrico Motta,V. Richard Benjamins,Mark Musen Pdf
A little over a decade has passed since the release of the ?rst Netscape browser. In 1995,the World Wide Web was viewedlargelyas an academiccuriosity.Now, of course, the Web is an integral part of the fabric of modern society.
