As the alleged author of this book I'd just like todistancemyself from this cheesy piece of shovelware. Spend the moneyon a printer instead. Or a better monitor. Or some cheese and ashovel. While W3C specs are available under a liberal license, this"book" is pushing at the limits of polite behaviour. I foundout I was named on the cover via Amazon. If I ever get around towriting a book, it won't have been this one...

The content of this book is simply copies of two online documents: Resource Description Framework (RDF) Schema Specification 1.0, and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) Model and Syntax Specification

In my opinion, the type quality of this book is awful, and I got better quality printing the two documents cited above on a laster printer. If you don't have a printer, and hate to read things online, then I guess buying this book would make sense. Otherwise I'd recommend you go and download the files yourself.

This book is useless. The online documents are so much easier to download and read on a laptop as well as search with your fav editor (emacs?). Anyway, why having bother to publish such a dull book without any added value is beyond me (and the rest of the review gang apparently.)

Do yourself a big favor and make this book a big pass. If curious about XML metadata, get Inside XML instead.

We are missing a ZERO star rating on Amazon. Too bad, because this book deserves it.

There have been quite a few changes of the specifications since this book has been printed.
You will get something completely outdated if you buy this book.
