Abstract
In this book, we hope to raise some provocative questions as much as we want to answer questions about semantic and Web 3.0 technologies. We will begin by introducing cognitive and sociological foundations for why semantic technologies are superior to their predecessors. We then present some contrasting views about specific techniques, followed by some specific examples. We conclude with a look at the state of the art in semantic systems and their implications for businesses and technologies.
