Guest Editorial: Semantic Web

Abstract

The Web has inundated with Semantic Web-based services. Semantic Web, in the form of Semantic Digital Libraries, Semantic Search, and Social Collaborative Networks, etc., is a great enabler for the librarians and information science professionals. Several usages of Semantic Web for the LIS professional has been discussed in various papers in this issue.  The Semantic Web also brings about a revolution in the publishing industry through the Web services model by establishing a bind-publish-find relationship between service requestor, service provider, and service registry. These areas of applications are also of direct relevance and should be further explored by the researchers as publishing and Information Retrieval goes hand-in-hand.
