Synopsis

As a new generation of technologies, frameworks, concepts and practices for information systems emerge, practitioners, academicians, and researchers are in need of a source where they can go to educate themselves on the latest innovations in this area. ""Semantic Web Information Systems: State-of-the-Art Applications"" establishes value-added knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: academia, industry, and government. ""Semantic Web Information Systems: State-of-the-Art Applications"" covers new semantic Web-enabled tools for the citizen, learner, organization, and business. Real-world applications toward the development of the knowledge society and semantic Web issues, challenges and implications in each of the IS research streams are included as viable sources for this challenging subject.
