Semantic Web Services

From the reviews:

“This book benefits from the extensive research track record of the authors combined with experiences gained in three large European projects with a combined budget of over 50M Euros. It is difficult to think of a more useful intellectual source for finding out about the Semantic Web Services area. If you are just embarking on a career as an ICT researcher, you are interested in services and/or semantics, or if you simply wish to catch up on the latest research in the Semantic Web area, then I thoroughly recommend that you read this book.”

“Fensel … and academic colleagues capture the state of research directed toward moving the Web from its traditional broadcast model into one wherein the Web provides an infrastructure for accomplishing tasks. … Activities of Web standards bodies, university researchers, and commercial proof-of-concept applications constitute the scope of the book. … A reasonable index helps ameliorate the acronym issue. For researchers, the extensive end-of-chapter bibliographies are a particularly valuable contribution. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.” (C. Vickery, Choice, Vol. 49 (4), December, 2011)
