This review is from: Dictionary of XML Technologies and the Semantic Web (Springer Professional Computing) (Hardcover)

The Semantic Web embraces a complex of technologies, concepts, good practices and procedures, and finally is a soup of acronyms, new terms, specialise terminology, etc.

This book is an excellent source of information about semantic web because is a real dictionary about XML and Semantic Web. Every entry in the dictionary is very well explained and almost every entry has a diagram, an illustration or an example.
