Your readings will be listed below as they are assigned. Readings marked SWP are from our textbook, "A Semantic Web Primer." We will also read research papers and technical specifications, and I provide links to online versions of these documents. Usually this is in HTML or PDF format, although a few papers may be in PostScript or Compressed PostScript format. Also, each online reading assignment is followed by a reference (in brackets) that links to the complete citation for the paper. The citations for the entire reading list can be found here.
