Excellent overview for the non-expert.

This book helped me a lot. I am not a Web expert. It provided me with a basic understanding of the principles and technologies involved in the Semantic Web. Good overview with just enough depth. It is starting to get out dated (published 2004). Some technologies are beyond the point described in the book (e.g. DAML-S replaced by OWL). Great book.
