Hi Paola,

Two links to interview-podcasts of the authors for the book cited below 
are at:

http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2008/07/dean-allemang-talks-about-topquadrant-and-semantic-web-for-the-working-ontologist.php

http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2008/03/jim_hendler_talks_about_the_se.php

I'll second Tom's comments regarding the book.

Best Regards,
