The Book

While the book Programming the Semantic Web contains lots of information about how semantics can be represented on the web at large, it is more about how developers can make their lives easier by leveraging graph data models and explicit semantics. As such, our emphasis is on practicality and utility not on dogma.

You can get the flavor of the book from the Google preview on the O’Reilly web site.

All of the code in the book and the data used in the examples are available for download in hopes that it makes your experimentation with the techniques described easier.
