Objectives and Content
Students will learn theories, techniques, tools, and best practices for managing semantic data and metadata. Students will acquire understanding and skills for programming applications that use and produce such data. Students will learn about existing sources of and standards for big, open, and semantically marked-up data. They will gain practical experience in developing semantic model-based applications using technologies such as RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, and JSON-LD.
Learning Outcomes
A student who has completed the course should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The candidate has theoretical knowledge of basic concepts related to:
- standards and technologies for semantic information systems, for example using RDF and SPARQL
- semantic modelling of interoperable information systems, for example using RDFS and OWL
- available sources of and vocabularies for big, open, and semantically marked-up data
Skills
The candidate
- can develop advanced information models, for example ontologies
- can use formats and languages such as RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, and JSON-LD
- can use existing frameworks and tools for managing semantic data and metadata
- can use existing frameworks and tools for developing semantic applications
