Review
From the reviews of the second edition: "This book provides an excellent introduction to ontologies. … It has many examples illustrating to the reader the different characteristics of ontologies … . One of the strengths of the book is that it is presented in the context of the semantic web … . The book is a good blend of theory, applications and illustrations of ontologies. … provides depth and insight into key problems of ontologies. … provides the reader with a large number of references. … Many of the references are new … . To summarize, this is an excellent book … ." (Daniel O’Leary, The Computer Journal, Vol. 48 (4), 2005)
Book Description
This second edition systematically introduces the notion of ontologies to the non-expert reader and demonstrates in detail how to apply this conceptual framework for improved intranet retrieval of corporate information and knowledge and for enhanced Internet-based electronic commerce. He also describes ontology languages (XML, RDF, and OWL) and ontology tools, and the application of ontologies. In addition to structural improvements, the second edition covers recent developments relating to the Semantic Web, and emerging web-based standard languages.

inconsistent and expensive,

This review is from: Ontologies: A Silver Bullet For Knowledge Management & Electronic Commerce (Hardcover)
This book is, as someone above said very hastily written. It repeats itself, and has a tacky structure, despite its 138 pages (references included). With that in mind, the price is quite hefty. but there are lots of references, which is a plus. There must be better books or papers out there which introduces ontologies.

This review is from: Ontologies: A Silver Bullet For Knowledge Management & Electronic Commerce (Hardcover)
The Semantic Web and knowledge management converge in this book by Dieter Fensel. Ontologies, a term from philosophy referring to the types and classifications of things that exist, recently has become a term of art in the area of business technology design. This book systematically introduces the idea of ontologies and shows clearly and in detail how to apply this conceptual framework for enhanced Internet-based e-commerce and improved Intranet retrieval of corporate information and knowledge. The notion of ontologies first gained acceptance outside philosophical circles among those working on the Semantic Web as a means to enable agents to reason about Web content and provide sensible responses to unanticipated situations. Fensel provides a thorough survey of a range of ontology-based knowledge representation techniques in terms of their applicability to Web-based information exchange. While the first part of the book will be accessible to non-experts interest in the use of ontologies in e-commerce and knowledge management, the second part presents a more technical view on emerging Web standards.

This review is from: Ontologies: A Silver Bullet For Knowledge Management & Electronic Commerce (Hardcover)
The book leaves impression of a quickly put together text. It does contain important references and web pointers, but could have been much better. I am mildly dissapointed.
