Reviews and Testimonials
"The semantic web technology is a set of tools to help business users of the World Wide Web develop meaningful shared vocabulary or ontologies leading to a standardization of terms and concepts related to the description of products, processes, and coordination mechanisms, both within and across enterprises. Contributors mostly in technical fields explain such aspects as a tool for designing and representing business processes, a communication model for knowledge sharing, and the development of an ontology to improve supply chain management in the Australian timber industry."
