The Description Logic Handbook - unique reference in field of knowledge representation.
'Until now, it has been difficult to locate a single text that covers enough of this field to serve as a thorough introduction to it. This handbook is an attempt to fill this gap, and it does so admirably … The book would serve well as a foundation text for a graduate course in description logic, when supplemented with selected research papers. The Production qualities are excellent; this book will be easy to read and refer to … a needed and well-executed reference work … an excellent book.' Computing Reviews
