Semantic data. Why semantics? -- Expressing meaning -- Using semantic data -- Standards and sources. Just enough RDF [Resource description framework] -- Sources of semantic data -- What do you mean, "ontology"? -- Publishing semantic data -- Putting it into practice. Overview of toolkits -- Introspecting objects from data -- Tying it all together -- Epilogue. The giant global graph.
With this book, the promise of the semantic web -- in which machines can find, share, and combine data on the Web -- is not just a technical possibility, but a practical reality. Programming the Semantic Web demonstrates several ways to implement semantic web applications, using existing standards and patterns as well as technologies recently introduced. Each chapter walks you through a single piece of semantic technology, and explains how to use it to solve real problems.
