By Jeffrey T. Pollock

Semantic net for Dummies is a wide-ranging examine the Semantic internet (also referred to as net 3.0) that might open your brain to the possibility of this new period in net improvement. Mr. Pollock's e-book is an clever and informative rationalization of this software program know-how. even if now not an in-depth programming booklet - it presents a very good evaluate of the salient good points of net 3.0. first of all, whereas I, too, am an Oracle worker, as is Mr. Pollock, i haven't met him or communicated with him by any means.

I had formerly learn a few articles at the topic yet did not fairly see the massive photo and felt beautiful clueless as to what it precisely is and why it issues (definition of a "dummy", I guess); so l was once searching for a unmarried resource to sew all of it jointly and get me begun at the semantic internet trip. This ebook suits the invoice well. Pollock palms you with an outstanding knowing of what middle applied sciences make up the Semantic Web.
As Pollock explains, key to knowing what differentiates the Semantic net from earlier net improvement is that it creates a "data web"; i.e., webs of knowledge which are interconnected, available and logically analyzable and, hence, of profit to clients. that is relatively the "why" of the semantic net.
Semantic internet for Dummies comprises chapters at the center "languages", RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language); different chapters clarify metadata and ontologies. half IV, entitled, "Putting the Semantic net to paintings" brings the Semantic Web's application into the company global concerning firm and software program improvement matters together with the foremost point of creating a knowledge-base incorporating either approach administration and safeguard matters. Proving he knows the implementation hazards dealing with any implementer utilizing new expertise, Pollock additionally presents a bankruptcy outlining the constraints of the Semantic internet for company improvement. The ebook issues you to either open resource and proprietary semantic instruments and present sites utilizing semantic applied sciences.

I'd say that when analyzing this e-book, i am not a Semantic net specialist, yet i am now not a dummy.
