This unique book succinctly summarizes the need to measure how
ontologies (one of the building blocks of the Semantic Web) are
currently being utilized, providing insights for various
stakeholders. Where possible it improves and reuses terms in
existing vocabularies/ontologies, as recommended by the Linked
Data community. Recent advances in the Semantic Web have led to a
proliferation of Resource Description Framework (RDF) data, which
employ ontologies to semantically describe the information on the
Web making it equally understandable for both humans and
machines. However, to create a network effect, it is important
that selective ontologies are used by more data publishers to
improve the value of that ontology. For this to happen, it is
vital to discover what is being used from an ontology to
semantically annotate the information on the Web specific to a
given domain. Answers to such basic but crucial questions can
only be achieved by ascertaining how ontologies in the current
semantic web are being utilized and adopted. The proposed
frameworks to obtain such insights are explained with real-world
examples to provide a clear and detailed description of ontology
usage analysis.

Both theoretical and practical, the book is of value to academics
and professionals working in industry. Specifically, it is of
primary interest to researchers, graduate students and
practitioners in the area of the Semantic Web and its various
real-world applications.
