Books on Semantic Web: Intro

This page contains information on books that are strictly on the Semantic Web. There are, of course, lots of other books on Knowledge Representation, Logic, XML, Databases, etc, that are all relevant for the Semantic Web, but adding these to this list would be counter productive…

Keeping such list up-to-date is obviously a problem. It can be hoped that the community at large will help maintaining these pages.

The order in the listings below does not reflect any assessment of the product or tool; simple year and alphanumeric order is used. (Note that some of these books are already announced, but not yet available…). Please, keep to this order if you add a book to the list.

Beyond the obvious sources (Amazon and other listings), the initial set in this list reused publication lists that were published elsewhere, eg, Nova Spivak’s Listmania list, or the lists maintained by Danny Ayers or Uldis Bojārs, a.k.a. CaptSolo.


Thanks to the book mashup service set up by Chris Bizer and friends the RDF data (providing such information as Amazon's relevant data) for most of the books is also available. The URI for the RDF description is simply based on the ISBN number.
