Semantic Technologies 2014/15: Books and Papers

This page, like the other pages of the course website, will develop over time.

This following books are the basis for the course. You can find them in our library, either as hardcopy or as electronic books on the Web.
Note that some electronic books can only be accessed from within the UNIBZ network and that no more than two readers can access the book at the same time :-(

Foundations of Semantic Web Technologies.
Pascal Hitzler, Markus Krotzsch and Sebastian Rudolph.
Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2009.

Semantic Web Programming.
John Hebeler et al.
Wiley, 2009.

Programming the Semantic Web.
Toby Segaran, Colin Evans and Jamie Taylor.
O'Reilly, 2009.

These books are supplementary reading.

Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space.

The Semantic Web is an active research area. We will also have a look at some research paper on the topic.

This is the paper that started the whole business:
The Semantic Web.
Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila.
Scientific American, May 2001.
In this paper, the three authors developed the vision of the Semantic Web.

As part of the coursework, you will be asked to choose a paper that was presented at the "In Use" track of one the last editions of the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC).
The papers of the conference are documented by the DBLP computer science bibliography website, on the pages documenting ISWC.
From the UNIBZ network you have access to all papers of that conference via DBLP.
