Semantic Web books

I recently queried Marco Neumann of the New York Semantic Web Meetup to suggest a path for learning about the Semantic Web. In addition to recommending attending the New York Semantic Web Meetup, he has suggested several books:

• A Semantic Web Primer. Grigoris Antoniou and Frank van Harmelen. 2nd Edition

• Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist: Effective Modeling in RDFS and OWL. Dean Allemang and Jim Hendler

• The Semantic Web: A Guide to the Future of XML, Web Services, and Knowledge Management. by Michael C. Daconta, Leo J. Obrst, Kevin T. Smith

I personally have not checked out these books, yet, other than looking at the blurbs on Amazon, but if Marco recommends them, they must be good.

Note: I do get a tiny commission from Amazon if you buy any of these books after clicking on any of the cover images or links above that redirect to Amazon. Thanks!
