Handbook of Semantic Web Technologies

From the reviews:

“This handbook is a massive two-volume, 1,000-page, 22-chapter work on the topic. … Volume 1, comprising 14 chapters, covers semantic Web basics and various technologies. … The second volume contains eight chapters, each detailing an applications area of semantic Web technology. … The first volume of this set may be useful to those who want to learn more about the subject, while the second volume may be of more interest to practitioners in the discipline. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.” (J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 49 (7), March, 2012)

“This handbook is an achievement. The editors have included an incredible amount of material in only two volumes … . Each chapter includes enough details that readers will be able to comprehend the significance of the information and use the generous list of references at the end of each chapter to track down complementary papers and books on the topics. This handbook is a job well done.” (Anthony J. Duben, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2012)
