Part I of this topic is dedicated to introducing the building blocks which
constitute Semantic Web services. After giving an introduction to the basic
Web technologies in Chapter 2, we present a primer on current Semantic Web
standards in Chapter 3. This is followed by an introduction to Web service
technologies and their origins in Chapter 4, where we also explain the need
for convergence of these technologies towards Semantic Web services.
The chapters in Part I do not aim to give exhaustive details about the
technologies discussed, but rather attempt to provide the reader with adequate
foundational understanding. The goal is to present the relevant technologies in
enough depth to prepare the reader for the later chapters. However, should the
explanations seem too brief, or readers' minds be too inquiring, and whenever
else deemed necessary, we refer the interested reader to the relevant literature
in the respective areas.
