With the development of the next generation Web architecture, the Semantic Web, a new generation of markup languages poised to unleash the power, flexibility, and above all logic, of the next generation Web and Web Services have been created. This book presents the new markup languages along with examples and software demos.

Developing Semantic Web Services is "well-informed about work on WS [Web Services] and the SemWeb [Semantic Web], and in particular . . . understand[s] OWL-S . . . very well . . .. Also, the book . . . fill[s] a need that, to my knowledge, hasn't been met at all." ---David Martin, editor OWL-S Coalition The inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berne
