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

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
