Summary: Broad overview of XML and the semantic web
Comment: The author provides broad overview of the semantic web and XML. It gives a beginner some insights into the field. It does not go into depth on XML, but gives several references for the reader to find more information. It also takes a database perspective in discussing the semantic web rather than an artificial intelligence perspective. I find this aspect very interesting.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very Interesting Book
Comment: I am new to the field of web and databases and found this to be an excellent book. It is very well written and very easy to read. It does not hype up the area like some other books do and provides a very realistic picture. I am now eager to learn more about the field.

Summary: Broad but very well written
Comment: This books covers a lot of topics very well. It starts with a discussion of web databases and semi-structured databases and then goes on to discuss XML, RDF and finally ties all the concepts together in a discussion of the semantic web. Semantic web is still evolving and the author clairifies the various concepts quite well. While this may not be at the right level for a technologist or a developer, this book will be quite appropriate for a manager or executive who wants to get a quick introduction to the semantic web and XML.
