Very out of date, the links sited in the book no longer work. Not a very concise style of explaining things.

Good book. If you're mostly interested in technological part of Semantic Web - there are maybe many other books that go deeper into this area. "Semantic Web for Dummies" is great just to discover tons of opportunities that are connected with implementation of Semantic Web applications - its impact on Internet. Of course it's all clarified in very simple way - the book is very easy to read.
