Foreword

This book is about evaluating semantic web services. Obviously, this is a task for Heroes and most of us would rather clean up the Augean stables than perform this task. Nevertheless, it has been done, and I have been asked to provide my insight on it. As every child knows, big things should become understandable by breaking them into pieces. Obviously, this book is about the following elements: Evaluation, Semantics, Web, Services, Semantic Web, Web Services, Semantic Web Services, and Evaluating Semantic Web Services.
