The Semantic Web, extends the popular, day-to-day Web, enabling
computers and people to effectively work together by giving
information well-defined meaning. Knitting the Semantic Web
explains the interdisciplinary efforts underway to build a more
library-like Web through "semantic knitting." The book examines
foundation activities and initiatives leading to standardized
semantic metadata. These efforts lead to the Semantic Web-a network
able to support computational activities and provide people with
services efficiently. Leaders in library and information science,
computer science, and information intensive domains provide insight
and inspiration to give readers a greater understanding of the
evolution of the Semantic Web. Librarians and information
professionals are uniquely qualified to play a major role in the
development and maintenance of the Semantic Web. Knitting the
Semantic Web closely examines this crucial relationship in detail.
This single source reviews the foundations, standards, and tools
underlying the Semantic Web and presents thoughtful perspectives in
the context of 2.0 developments. Many chapters include figures to
illustrate concepts and ideas, and the entire text is extensively
referenced. Topics in Knitting the Semantic Web include: RDF, its
expressive power, and its ability to underlie the new Library
catalog card for the coming century the value and application for
controlled vocabularies SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization
System), the newest Semantic Web language managing scheme
versioning in the Semantic Web Physnet portal service for physics
Semantic Web technologies in biomedicine developing the United
Nations Food and Agriculture ontology Friend Of A Friend (FOAF)

Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs - while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon.
Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves. Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience.
