I am, a programmer with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning background, willing to commit time and effort into understanding the power of semantic web. What tutorials / FOSS Projects would you recommend ?

I have experience in C, Java and a little Ruby

What technologies/programming environments are you most familiar with? It would help to understand your background so that we can give you some specific tools and projects you should look into. – spoon16 Nov 8 at 8:25

Thanks, Bastian. BTW, patternexon, if you track down any other useful learning resources that are not in the list of "where can I learn about the semantic web?", please would you add them as an answer to that question? – Andrew Matthews Nov 9 at 1:50

Apart from the links listed above, if it is books you are after I can highly recommend:

Semantic Web Programming by Hebeler et al

Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist by Allemang and Hendler.

Hebeler et al. give a quick intro to the semantic web stack as well as to a number of frameworks that can be used to hack the semantic web. Throughout the book they develop a sample application based on ontologies as well as some of the frameworks they discuss and provide plenty of code examples to get you going.

The Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist is a great - and again - practical introduction to RDF and OWL as well as to some of the principles of ontological enginnering. Allemang and Hendler provide modeling examples, point out modeling pitfalls in a very helpful way. The book is written in such a light and chatty style that I would almost recommend it as bed-time reading. In spite of that, it is always profound.

Semantic Web For Dummies by Jeff Pollock is a good book. The title is somewhat misleading - it is not really a "dummies" book and provides a good overview of the Semantic Web.

From more programming oriented books there is also:

Programming the Semantic Web by Toby Segaran, Colin Evans and Jamie Taylor.

I have Segarans book too, and it rellay faces the topic straight forward. Can definitly recommend it, even if you're no Python programmer (the examples are in Python mostly), which I am not for example. – Bastian Spanneberg Nov 13 at 13:44
