	Read the first two books, both were atrocious. W3C and Wikipedia content much more informative. Halfway through "Visualizing the Semantic Web", and it's great. Much better than the first two books. Will gather some links tonight.		Read the first two books, both were atrocious. W3C and Wikipedia content much more informative. Halfway through "Visualizing the Semantic Web", and it's great.

		+	==== Information Sharing on the Semantic Web ====
		+
		+	This book's one good idea is that ontologies should be modular and have a separate layer to allow for easy integration with other ontologies. Also has interesting section on the ontology of statistics. The rest of the book lays out platitudes and mainly references other German researchers. The beginning of my notes (to be continued):
		+
		+	* Preface
		+	** The main thesis of this book is that the problem of information sharing (finding and integration) is only solvable by giving the computer better access to the ''semantics'' of the information.
		+	* Part 1: Information Sharing and Ontologies
		+	** Chapter 1: Semantic Integration
		+	*** Explicit representations of information semantics are needed in a weakly structured environment.
		+	*** Focus on semantic integration and content-based filtering.
		+	*** Heterogeneity studied by intelligent information integration and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_database distributed database] communities.
		+	*** Heterogeneity problems can be divided into three categories: syntax, structure, and semantics.
		+	*** Syntax problems solved by standards: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODBC ODBC], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HTML], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGML SGML]->[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Schema XML Schema], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Type_Definition DTD]), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework RDF] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDF_Schema RDF Schema]), etc.
