Reviews

From the reviews: This book, a collection of papers by different authors, presents an overview of the theory and practice of ontology engineering. ... This book is good reading for any professional interested in ontology engineering and domain ontology design. It is an accurate representation of the state of the art of urban ontologies, and leaves readers with a sense of the amount of work still required for real urban interoperational systems. (Mariana Damova, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2011)
