What Is Thinking?
What is Turing′s Test? What is Gödel′s Undecidability Theorem? How is Berners–Lee′s Semantic Web logic going to overcome paradoxes and complexity to produce machine processing on the Web?
Thinking on the Web draws from the contributions of Tim Berners–Lee (What is solvable on the Web?), Kurt Gödel (What is decidable?), and Alan Turing (What is machine intelligence?) to evaluate how much "intelligence" can be projected onto the Web.
The authors offer both abstract and practical perspectives to delineate the opportunities and challenges of a "smarter" Web through a threaded series of vignettes and a thorough review of Semantic Web development.

?Anyone with experience of HCI will want to read this book which after all, has provided a new and entirely different way of providing a stimulus to a subject that is very much in need of direction.? ( Kybernetes, 2009)
"A fine introduction to what the Web can do now and what may de done in the near future?for everyone interested in the Web." (CHOICE, July 2007)
"I recommend this book to readers who would like to think about the way the Web is influenced by logic in its evolution into a semantic framework of applications." (Computing Reviews.com, February 19, 2006)
A vision of Web–enabled machine intelligence
Tim Berners–Lee, Kurt Gödel, and Alan Turing are the pivotal pioneers who opened the door to the Information Revolution, beginning with the introduction of the computer in the 1950s and continuing today with the World Wide Web evolving into a resource with intelligent features and capabilities.
Taking the main questions posed by these thinkers "What is decidable?" by Gödel, "What is machine intelligence?" by Turing, and "What is solvable on the Web?" by Berners–Lee as jumping–off points, Thinking on the Web offers an incisive guide to just how much "intelligence" can be projected onto the Web.
Presenting Web intelligence from both philosophical and applied perspectives, Thinking on the Web explores the next generation of Web architecture, the Semantic Web, and takes a realistic look at the Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities resulting from this new layer of machine processing. It is divided into two sections, the first addressing Web intelligence and the second Web logic and language. The book builds from commonsense, real–world examples to some of the most cutting–edge issues surrounding the next generation of Web capabilities, including:
Throughout the book, a series of vignettes highlight important issues underpinning the Information Revolution, thereby mirroring the authors′ attention to both the abstract and practical questions posed by a "thinking" Web. A unique guide to the next frontier of computing, Thinking on the Web offers both tech–savvy readers and serious computer science students a stimulating and practical view towards a smarter Web.
