A portrait of the Semantic Web in action

Without semantically enriched content, the Web cannot reach its full potential. The authors discuss tools and techniques for generating and processing such content, thus setting a foundation upon which to build the Semantic Web. The authors put a Semantic Web language through its paces and answer questions about how people can use it, such as: how do authors generate semantic descriptions; how do agents discover these descriptions; how can agents integrate information from different sites; and how can users query the Semantic Web.
