About the Book
Although the majority of information that is published by the current web is aimed at human consumption, the browsers which contain this information are only able to interpret HTML mark-up to visualize this content. Semantic web intends to address the stability between human and machine. Advancing Information Management through Semantic Web Concepts and Ontologies provides an analysis and introduction on the concept of combining the areas of semantic web and web mining. Emphasizing semantics in technologies, reasoning, content searching and social media, this book aims to be an essential source for practitioners, researchers and academics alike.
