✦ Synopsis

Semantics and ontologies offer an extension to traditional information systems in which information is given well-defined meaning, enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. With expanding uses and integrations of semantics and ontologies, research in Semantic Web engineering has grown immensely. Semantic Web Engineering in the Knowledge Society brings together contributions from researchers and scientists from both industry and academia and representatives from different communities for the understanding and exploration of the theories, tools, and applications of semantics and ontologies. This authoritative reference serves as the platform for exchange of both practical technologies and far reaching implications, offering academicians and practitioners a compendium of knowledge in Semantic Web engineering.
