Technology and Social Inclusion
Rethinking the Digital Divide
By Mark Warschauer
Going beyond the oversimplified notion of a "digital divide" to analyze
the relationship between access to information and communication
technologies and social inclusion.
"An impassioned, thoughtful, and unique analysis of the digital divide
that incorporates evidence from affluent and poor nations. Warschauer
shows that social context, far more than hardware, shapes access to
new technologies."

Spinning the Semantic Web
Bringing the World Wide Web to Its Full Potential
Edited by Dieter Fensel, James A. Hendler, Henry Lieberman and Wolfgang Wahlster
As the World Wide Web continues to expand, it becomes increasingly
difficult for users to obtain information efficiently. Spinning
the Semantic Web describes an exciting new type of hierarchy and
standardization that will replace the current "web of links" with a
"web of meaning." Using a flexible set of languages and tools, the
Semantic Web will make all available information--display elements,
metadata, services, images, and especially content--accessible. The
result will be an immense repository of information accessible for a
wide range of new applications.
