PLUG Developers meeting May 6th - An Introdiction to The Semantic Web - part 1 of 2

[Ed]

Thursday's presentation is the first part of an Introduction to The
Semantic Web based on the Allemang & Hendler book: Semantic Web for
the Working Ontologist, effective modeling in RDFS and OWL.

This book is one of the best introductions to semantics, ontologies
and the semantic web and in this presentation, part one of two, you
will become familiar with this field's terminology as well as its
basic technology. The focus is on understanding the tools, the
resources, and the way of thinking that makes the semantic web the
next important step for the Internet[1]. In part two, we will take
these foundations and focus on implementation, how to add elements of
the semantic web to your current Internet assets. Dean Allemang and
Jim Hendler have produced an excellent introduction to the Semantic
Web, which if it is to be as important as many think, will have to be
a Free Semantic Web.
