Abstract :
The book Adaptive Information: Improving Business through Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing, and Enterprise Integration by Jeffrey T. Pollock and Ralph Hodgson is an essential read for all semantic Web practitioners - from CIOs to CTOs and architects to managers. The book also adds a business perspective to semantic technology, which makes it a must-read for upper management. It includes background information, definitions, recommendations, alternative solutions, and product suggestions along with complete case studies. The authors discuss about information solutions leveraging the technical advances in the field over the past decade, using thought-provoking methods to convey the information. The presentation is simple enough for managers, with just enough technical detail for developers or architects to design a semantic system.
