After the traditional document-centric Web 1.0 and user-generated
content focused Web 2.0, Web 3.0 has become a repository of an ever
growing variety of Web resources that include data and services
associated with enterprises, social networks, sensors, cloud, as
well as mobile and other devices that constitute the Internet of
Things. These pose unprecedented challenges in terms of
heterogeneity (variety), scale (volume), and continuous changes
(velocity), as well as present corresponding opportunities if they
can be exploited. Just as semantics has played a critical role in
dealing with data heterogeneity in the past to provide
interoperability and integration, it is playing an even more
critical role in dealing with the challenges and helping users and
applications exploit all forms of Web 3.0 data. This book presents
a unified approach to harness and exploit all forms of contemporary
Web resources using the core principles of ability to associate
meaning with data through conceptual or domain models and semantic
descriptions including annotations, and through advanced semantic
techniques for search, integration, and analysis. It discusses the
use of Semantic Web standards and techniques when appropriate, but
also advocates the use of lighter weight, easier to use, and more
scalable options when they are more suitable. The authors'
extensive experience spanning research and prototypes to
development of operational applications and commercial technologies
and products guide the treatment of the material. Table of

As the Web continues to grow, increasing amounts of data are being
made available for human and machine consumption. This emerging
Semantic Web is rapidly entering the mainstream and, as a result, a
variety of new solutions for searching, aggregating and the
intelligent delivery of information are being
produced,bothinresearchandcommercialsettings.Severalnewchallengesarise
from this context, both from a technical and human-computer
interaction p- spective - e.g., as issues to do with the
scalability andusability of Semantic Web solutions become
particularly important. The International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC) is the major inter- tional forum where the latest research
results and technical innovations on all aspects of the Semantic
Web are presented. ISWC brings together researchers, practitioners,
and users from the areas of arti?cial intelligence, databases,
social
networks,distributedcomputing,Webengineering,informationsystems,natural
language processing, soft computing, and human-computer interaction
to d- cuss the major challenges and proposed solutions, success
stories and failures, as well the visions that can advance the
?eld.

The Web is a globalinformationspace consistingoflinked documents
andlinked data. As the Web continues to grow and new technologies,
modes of interaction, and applications are being developed, the
task of the Semantic Web is to unlock the power of information
available on the Web into a common semantic inf- mation space and
to make it available for sharing and processing by automated tools
as well as by people. Right now, the publication of large datasets
on the Web, the opening of data access interfaces, and the encoding
of the semantics of the data extend the current human-centric Web.
Now, the Semantic Web c- munity is tackling the challenges of how
to create and manage Semantic Web content, how to make Semantic Web
applications robust and scalable, and how to organize and integrate
information from di?erent sources for novel uses. To foster the
exchange of ideas and collaboration, the International Semantic Web
Conference brings together researchers and practitioners in
relevant disciplines such as arti?cial intelligence, databases,
social networks, distributed computing, Web engineering,
information systems, natural language processing, soft c- puting,
and human-computer interaction. This volume contains the main
proceedings of ISWC 2008, which we are - cited to o?er to the
growing community of researchers and practitioners of the Semantic
Web. We got a tremendous response to our call for research papers
from a truly international community of researchers and
practitioners from 41 countries submitting 261 papers. Each paper
receivedan averageof 3.
