Produktinformationen zu „The Semantic Web “
The Semantic Web is a vision - the idea of having data on the Web defined and linked in such a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications. However, there is a widespread misconception that the Semantic Web is a rehash of existing AI and database work. Kashyap, Bussler, and Moran dispel this notion by presenting the multi-disciplinary technological underpinnings such as machine learning, information retrieval, service-oriented architectures, and grid computing. Thus they combine the informational and computational aspects needed to realize the full potential of the Semantic Web vision.
Klappentext zu „The Semantic Web “
A decade ago Tim Berners-Lee proposed an extraordinary vision: despite the p- nomenal success of the Web, it would not, and could not, reach its full potential unless it became a place where automated processes could participate as well as people. This meant the publication of documents and data to the web in such a way that they could be interpreted, integrated, aggregated and queried to reveal new connections and answer questions, rather than just browsed and searched. Many scoffed at this idea, interpreting the early emphasis on language design and reas- ing as AI in new clothes. This missed the point. The Grand Challenge of the Semantic Web is one that needs not only the information structure of ontologies, metadata, and data, but also the computational infrastructure of Web Services, P2P and Grid distributed computing and workflows. Consequently, it is a truly who- system and multi-disciplinary effort. This is also an initiative that has to be put into practice. That means a pragmatic approach to standards, tools, mechanisms and methodologies, and real, challenging examples. It would seem self-evident that the Semantic Web should be able to make a major contribution to clinical information discovery. Scientific commu- ties are ideal incubators: knowledge-driven, fragmented, diverse, a range of str- tured and unstructured resources with many disconnected suppliers and consumers of knowledge. Moreover, the clinicians and biosciences have embraced the notions of annotation and classification using ontologies for centuries, and have dema- ing requirements for trust, security, fidelity and expressivity.

Autoren-Porträt von Vipul Kashyap, Christoph Bußler, Matthew Moran
Vipul Kashyap is a Fellow at the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications in the National Library of Medicine, where he is investigating the role of the emerging Semantic Web in creating a flexible and interoperable infrastructure for Healthcare, Medicine and Bio-Informatics. He has worked on issues related to semantic information modeling and integration in an industrial setting. Prior to working at the NLM, Vipul has worked at Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) and Applied Research Labs of Telcordia Technologies (formerly known as Bellcore), and has been a consultant for start-up companies: Semagix, Inc. and Global IDs, Inc. He has published books on Information Brokering and the Semantic Web, more than 40 research papers and articles, participated on panels and has been a member of Program Committees of prestigious international conferences, including the WWW track on the Semantic Web, and the International Semantic Web Conference.Christoph Bussler is Staff Software Engineer at BEA Systems, Inc., working in the core WebLogic application server product development organization. Before joining BEA, Chris was architect at Cisco Systems, Inc. in San Jose, CA, USA, responsible for the service-oriented architecture at Cisco Systems' Quote-to-Cash business unit. Prior to taking this position he was Science Foundation Ireland Professor at the National University of Ireland, Galway in Ireland and Executive Director of the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI). Chris published a book titled 'B2B Integration', two books on workflow management, over 100 research papers in journals and academic conferences, he gave tutorials on several topics including B2B integration, workflow management and service-oriented architectures and he was keynote speaker at many conferences and workshops on topics like workflow management, B2B and EAI integration as well as Semantic Web.
