From the reviews:“The subtitle gives a much better idea of what this book is really about. … it offers a demonstration of their applicability within a narrow computer science framework. … the primary audience is computer science researchers. … It is interesting as an illustration of where information retrieval is heading, an explanation of the relationship between the semantic web and natural language processing, and a glimpse of the potential power of these new ways of representing knowledge.” (Toby Burrows, Australian Library Journal, Vol. 61 (2), May, 2012)
