Foundations for the Web of Information and Services A Review of 20 Years of Semantic Web Research

"This is an excellent collection of contributions on advancements in the World Wide Web (WWW)--the semantic Web in particular--in the last 20 years. The book is primarily intended for researchers in the semantic Web field. I recommend it especially for newcomers."
- M. Bielikova, ACM Computing Reviews, August 2012
