Biography

Alesso, H.Peter

" ""An excellent resource book for web developers."" -Vijay Kumar, E-Streams, August 2005
""Alesso and Smith (both, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) have provided a wonderful introduction to semantic Web development that goes far beyond semantic Web services. With a clear, very readable style, they tell the reasons for creating a semantic Web, the personalities involved, and the primary technologies . . . that form the structures needed for these services. "" -H. J. Bender, CHOICE Magazine Magazine, May 2005
""Reflecting their expertise arising from many years of extended research experience . . . the coauthors have succeeded in producing a seminal, essential, professional-level instruction manual and reference work."" -Paul T. Vogel, Reviewers' Bookwatch, February 2005"
