Visualizing the Semantic Web
XML-based Internet and Information Visualization
Chaomei Chen, Vladimir Geroimenko
Résumé
The Web has evolved from HTML quite dramatically over
the last few years with revolutionary techniques for
content and structural modeling, including XML (eXtensible
Markup Language), RDF (Resource Definition Framework) and
Topic Maps. Compared to HTML, the content of XML documents
is enriched with semantic and structural features, and also
is completely separated from its visual appearance. This
allows a Web document to be displayed in any desired form.
Given such an unrestricted choice, many companies and end
users prefer a graphically rich document appearance with
effective visual access to semantic and structural
information. Visualizing the Semantic Web: XML-based
Internet and Information Visualization is the first book
dealing specifically with visualization of the
Second-Generation Web.
It presents the state-of-the-art research in this area and
focuses on key topics such as:
- The nature of the Semantic Web and its relationship to Information Visualization
- Visualization of semantic and structural information and metadata
- Ontology-based and Topic Maps visualizations
- Visual interfaces for retrieving, browsing and mapping semantic information
- SVG/X3D as new visualization techniques for the semantic web
- Methods used to construct high quality metadata / metadata taxonomies
- Recommender systems, interface issues related to filtering and recommending on the Web
- A comparative analysis of web services and the semantic web
- Semantic-oriented use of existing visualization methods
- Semantically enhanced solutions for the medical
community
The design of semantically and graphically enriched interfaces for e-commerce and information retrieval and presentation is currently a challenging area of practical Web development. Most of the techniques and methods discussed can be applied now, making this book essential reading for visualization researchers as well as XML and Web developers.
