Scalable and Reactive Programming for Semantic Web Developers discusses using Scala for semantic web development. Key points include: - Scala allows for more concise RDF code compared to Java through features like type inference and implicit parameters. - The actor model and futures in Scala enable asynchronous and reactive programming for RDF streams and SPARQL queries. - OWL API reasoning with ontologies can be done more clearly in Scala through implicit classes that simplify common operations.
