Anotation:
The course "Ontologies and Semantic Web" will guide students through current trends and technologies in the semantic web field. Students will learn designing complex ontologies, thesauri, formalizing them in a suitable formal language, querying them and creating semantic web applications on their top. The second part of the course will be devoted to the efficient management of ontological data and other selected topics.
Course outlines:
| 1. | | Evolution of the semantic web, semantic web stack |
| 2. | | Semantic web languages - syntax and semantics of RDF, RDFS |
| 3. | | Semantic web languages - syntax and semantics of OWL (2), SWRL |
| 4. | | Semantic web languages - syntax and semantics of SPARQL |
| 5. | | Ontological engineering, design and modeling of ontologies |
| 6. | | Ontology design patterns |
| 7. | | Ontology alignment and ontology matching |
| 8. | | Thesauri, vocabularies, SKOS |
| 9. | | Linked Data |
| 10. | | Persistence of ontologies, triple stores, accessing ontologies |
programatically
| 11. | | Semantic annotation of web content - microformats, RDF-A 12. Data integration on the semantic web, rule-based systems, selected applications |
| 13. | | Semantic GIS, GeoSPARQL |
| 14. | | Selected Topics |
Exercises outline:
