IMPLEMENTING SEMANTIC WEB SERVICES: THE SESA FRAMEWORK

Service-oriented computing has become one of the predominant factors in IT research and development efforts over the last few years.

Here, Dieter Fensel and his team lay the foundation for understanding the Semantic Web Services infrastructure, aimed at eliminating human intervention and thus allowing for seamless integration of information systems.
