    Book description

    Description logics are embodied in several knowledge-based systems and are used to develop various real-life applications. Now in paperback, The Description Logic Handbook provides a thorough account of the subject, covering all aspects of research in this field, namely: theory, implementation, and applications. Its appeal will be broad, ranging from more theoretically oriented readers, to those with more practically oriented interests who need a sound and modern understanding of knowledge representation systems based on description logics. As well as general revision throughout the book, this new edition presents a new chapter on ontology languages for the semantic web, an area of great importance for the future development of the web. In sum, the book will serve as a unique resource for the subject, and can also be used for self-study or as a reference for knowledge representation and artificial intelligence courses.

    Reviews

    '… well written and has a good structure … It provides an excellent overview on the subject and shows the various aspects of description logic in their respective contexts with many pointers for further reading.'

    Thomas Studer Source: Zentralblatt MATH

    '… this book is a valuable resource for any scientist or institution working in areas related to applications implementation. As an anthology of essays written by top scholars in the field, it is generally very well put together.'
