Google Tech Talks May, 23 2008 ABSTRACT Overview: Mark Birbeck has spent a number of years working on flexible user interfaces, both by developing software and working with the W3C on new standards. His latest work involves creating an Ajax framework that uses metadata embedded in HTML documents to drive dynamic user interfaces. The framework makes it easy for authors to build interactive sites, whilst still creating accessible, searchable documents. In this talk Mark will look at how embedded metadata can be used by anyone from scientific researchers to bloggers, through news organisations to photographers, to improve how their pages are understand and interacted with. Speaker: Mark Birbeck Mark Birbeck devised RDFa, a new standard from the W3C that allows metadata to be embedded in HTML and XHTML documents, rather than being stored separately. Web pages enriched in this way provide more accurate information for use in search engines, as well as creating enormous potential for building a new generation of interactive tools for the end-user. Mark is also involved in the XForms Working Group and the XHTML 2 Working Group, has contributed to books on XML and RDF, blogs regularly about XForms, the semantic web, and RIAs, and his company, webBackplane develops a range of open source software for semantic-driven user interfaces. His profile is at webBackplane.com

Programming the Semantic Web
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 current and emerging standards and technologies. You’ll learn how to incorporate existing data sources into semantically aware applications and publish rich semantic data.Each chapter walks you through a single piece of semantic technology and explains how you can use it to solve real problems. Whether you’re writing a simple mashup or maintaining a high-performance enterprise solution,Programming the Semantic Web provides a standard, flexible approach for integrating and future-proofing systems and data.This book will help you:Learn how the Semantic Web allows new and unexpected uses of data to emergeUnderstand how semantic technologies promote data portability with a simple, abstract model for knowledge representationBecome familiar with semantic standards, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL)Make use of semantic programming techniques to both enrich and simplify current web applications

Semantic Web Technologies: Trends and Research in Ontology-based Systems
The Semantic Web combines the descriptive languages RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language), with the data-centric, customizable XML (eXtensible Mark-up Language) to provide descriptions of the content of Web documents. These machine-interpretable descriptions allow more intelligent software systems to be written, automating the analysis and exploitation of web-based information.
Software agents will be able to create automatically new services from already published services, with potentially huge implications for models of e-Business.
Semantic Web Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of key semantic knowledge technologies and research. The authors explain (semi-)automatic ontology generation and metadata extraction in depth, along with ontology management and mediation. Further chapters examine how Semantic Web technology is being applied in knowledge management (“Semantic Information Access”) and in the next generation of Web services.
Semantic Web Technologies:
- Provides a comprehensive exposition of the state-of-the art in Semantic Web research and key technologies.
- Explains the use of ontologies and metadata to achieve machine-interpretability.
- Describes methods for ontology learning and metadata generation.
- Discusses ontology management and evolution, covering ontology change detection and propagation, ontology dependency and mediation.
- Illustrates the theoretical concepts with three case studies on industrial applications in digital libraries, the legal sector and the telecommunication industry.
Graduate and advanced undergraduate students, academic and industrial researchers in the field will all find Semantic Web Technologies an essential guide to the technologies of the Semantic Web.
State of the art
Although the subjects of each chapter seem quite different, you get a grasp of the current state of the art technology of the semantic web after finishing the book. I can recommend this book to whoever is going to construct hubs in the semantic web.

more useful for making new documents
The Semantic Web is said to be the future of the Web. This book suggests how that might come about. It has extensive explanations of RDF and OWL, both overlaid on XML. One big idea is to move towards Web Services and to be able to compose these into more complex entities, in a programmatic manner. Another main hope is to be able to write future documents in RDF/OWL, that can be parsed and “understood” in a way not easily possible with conventional HTML documents.
Note that these future documents need not necessarily be published on the Web. You could have a bunch of them in a database.
Perhaps the most plausible use of the book is in designing these future documents. Sections in the book describe how to semi-automatically derive these from existing, non-RDF or OWL data. Like existing web pages. A hard task, if you want to find some kind of semantic meaning. This book might be considered part of the Artificial Intelligence field. But trying to tackle the general problem via the smaller step of building the Semantic Web.
