Semantic Web Methodology

Course Description This two-day course covers the how to of creating a semantic web application.

The course covers the technical explanation of the methodology used for building Semantic Web applications. We start with URIs and namespaces, then move to XML and XMLS Datatypes, RDF and RDF/XML, N-Triple, N3, RDFS and Individuals, OWL, and lastly, applications that make use of all the different layers just mentioned.

Next we discuss the nine step process of building an ontology and instantiating the ontology.

We use Protege to build an ontology and Jena to build the basic implementation.

The duration of the course is two days (16 hours).

Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes

Upon completion of this course the student will:
  • understand and describe variable ontologies.
  • state the reason for the semantic web.
  • describe the difference between an ontology and a taxonomy.
  • based on a set of user requirements, build a domain oriented ontology
  • instantiate an ontology in a semantic web processor
  • implement a solution that reasons using ontological data.
