Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

The second edition builds on the work of Semantic Web practitioners and researchers who have moved the field forward in the past two years—they are too numerous to thank individually. But we would like to extend special recognition to James “Chip” Masters, Martin Hepp, Ralph Hodgson, Austin Haugen, and Paul Tarjan, whose work on various ontologies allowed them to be mature enough to serve as examples “in the wild.”

We also want to thank TopQuadrant, Inc. for making their software TopBraid Composer™ available for the preparation of the book. All examples were managed using this software, and the figures that show RDF data were laid out using its graphic capabilities. The book would have been much harder to manage without it. ...
