In this book we focused on modeling in the Semantic Web: how to use the standards and technology to build models that will assist in the interoperation of information in a web setting. In this reading list, we include pointers to other treatments of issues relating to the Semantic Web, including history, methodology, mathematical theory, business applications, and criticisms of the entire approach. This list is intended to be a starting point for the interested reader and does not claim to be comprehensive.
In addition to the references provided here, a number of tutorials on RDF, RDFS, OWL, and related Semantic Web technologies can be found at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/Tutorials.
