Fun read as well as instructional November 8, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a fun read as well as an instructional computer science textbook. Although the target audience for this book is most likely those interested in computer science, I believe readers interested in the leading edge of Web technology can benefit from reading this book.
This book necessarily presents the very technical terminology of Web ontology with code examples. The authors' style lets one move through these important sections quickly. It emphasizes concepts behind the Web and how humans and computers can improve the management of information. Philosophical arguments (e.g. How We Think, What is Intelligence. What is Logic) are interlaced between the technical presentations. At the end of each chapter, two fictional college students continue an informal running dialog to debate and discuss the efficacy of the presented concepts. These characters often argue conflicting opinions.
The book presents the history of the Web starting with the early contributions of Berners-Lee. The present status of the Web and its limitations are described. The authors then present Semantic Web concepts along with their challenges and potential limitations.
Understanding how we think can be a prelude to the application of artificial intelligence (AI). The authors discuss how one starts to recognizes machine intelligence.
The book contains references to additional Semantic Web resources, developers, and tools for further reading.
