Sinopsis


Practical Ontologies for Information Professionals

provides an accessible introduction and exploration of ontologies and demonstrates their value to information professionals.

More data and information is being created than ever before. Ontologies, formal representations of knowledge with rich semantic relationships, have become increasingly important in the context of today's information overload and data deluge. The publishing and sharing of explicit explanations for a wide variety of concepts, in a machine readable format, has the power to both improve information retrieval and discover new knowledge. Information professionals are key contributors to the development of new, and increasingly useful, ontologies.


Practical Ontologies for Information Professionals

ontologies and the semantic web

existing ontologies, such as RDF, RDFS, SKOS, and OWL2
