Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive guide to the world of metadata, from its origins in the ancient cities of the Middle East, to the Semantic Web of today. The author takes us on a journey through the centuries-old history of metadata up to the modern world of crowdsourcing and Google, showing how metadata works and what it is made of. The author explores how it has been used ideologically and how it can never be objective. He argues how central it is to human cultures and the way they develop. Metadata: Shaping Knowledge from Antiquity to the Semantic Web is for all readers with an interest in how we humans organize our knowledge and why this is important. It is suitable for those new to the subject as well as those know its basics. It also makes an excellent introduction for students of information science and librarianship. Trade Review“In Metadata: Shaping Knowledge from Antiquity to the Semantic Web, Gartner, the digital librarian at the Warburg Institute at the University of London, thoroughly covers not only the history of metadata, but how it affects and forms knowledge and culture. … The author concludes the work with recent advances in metadata creation—metadata produced via Web 2.0, crowdsourcing, and folksonomies. This is a meticulous overview of metadata and its history and application. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.” (A. Hollister, Choice, Vol. 54 (9), May, 2017)“The book presents an enjoyable bird’s-eye view of metadata and related concepts, with outstanding examples accessible to non-experts. … I highly recommend the book.” (H. I. Kilov, Computing Reviews, May, 2017)“The book covers continuous evolution of metadata from the history of cataloguing to the modern forms … . This book will attract readers interested in metadata, the semantic web, metadata ontologies, digital libraries, and semantic retrieval. So, it is highly recommended to information professionals, digital librarians and students. The book is well structured and motivating. The results of Gartner’s effort are very much worth reading due to his librarianship perspective on metadata.” (Elaheh Hossseini, Information Research, informationr.net, Vol. 22 (1), March, 2017)“All of the usual elements of a book on metadata are present and correct … I would urge you to read this book if you are new to cataloguing or if you are old in cataloguing and world-weary about our professional mission. It’s a book to provoke your own thoughts, and quite possibly to give to your manager if you suspect they are unsure why metadata, why cataloguing and, therefore, why you and your team matter.” (Anne Welsh, Catalogue and Index, cilip.org.uk, Issue 186, March, 2017) “The book provides an overview of existing metadata approaches and standards such as MARC, Dublin Core, MIX and EAD. This book also offers a succinct history of metadata and discusses emerging metadata approaches. … This book can be read by both technical and non-technical people as it uses a rather accessible language. Metadata makes information finding easier. This is an excellent read and I highly recommend it to my colleagues and friends.” (Getaneh Alemu, Linkedin.com, January, 2017)“This slim volume aims to provide the reader with an overview of the history and development of metadata from the earliest times to the present day, and it offers a straightforward and readable account of metadata for the novice or the non-professional. … There is plenty here to intrigue and entertain for those wanting a lightweight introduction to the subject, at a very attractive price … .” (Vanda Broughton, Library & Information History, Vol. 33 (2), 2017)Table of ContentsWhat Metadata is and why it Matters.- Clay, Goats and Trees: Metadata before the Byte.- Metadata Becomes Digital.- Metadata as Ideology.- The Ontology of Metadata.- The Taxonomic Urge.- From Hierarchies to Networks.- Breaking the Silos.- Democratizing Metadata.- Knowledge and Uncertainty.

Book SynopsisThis is the second edition of Wil van der Aalst’s seminal book on process mining, which now discusses the field also in the broader context of data science and big data approaches. It includes several additions and updates, e.g. on inductive mining techniques, the notion of alignments, a considerably expanded section on software tools and a completely new chapter of process mining in the large. It is self-contained, while at the same time covering the entire process-mining spectrum from process discovery to predictive analytics. After a general introduction to data science and process mining in Part I, Part II provides the basics of business process modeling and data mining necessary to understand the remainder of the book. Next, Part III focuses on process discovery as the most important process mining task, while Part IV moves beyond discovering the control flow of processes, highlighting conformance checking, and organizational and time perspectives. Part V offers a guide to successfully applying process mining in practice, including an introduction to the widely used open-source tool ProM and several commercial products. Lastly, Part VI takes a step back, reflecting on the material presented and the key open challenges. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in process mining. It is intended for business process analysts, business consultants, process managers, graduate students, and BPM researchers.Trade Review“The author of the book, Wil van der Aalst, is very knowledgeable in the area. … His research interests are workflow management, process mining, Petri nets, business process management, process modeling, and process analysis. … I enjoyed reading the book and learned about process mining. It will be helpful to researchers and industry professionals working on fields related to business processes such as business intelligence and workflow management.” (Gulustan Dogan, Computing Reviews, March, 2017)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Preliminaries.- From Event Logs to Process Models.- Beyond Process Discovery.- Putting Process Mining to Work.- Reflection.- Epilogue.
