The course is an introduction
• We will not teach you everything about every
standard/technology
– Enough for you to understand the basics and be
able to find more literature
– Some practical experience with the basics, so that
you could use the technologies correctly in a
project
Requirements to pass the course
• Main course – 3 credits
– Attend lectures (or read material)
– Attend the hands-on session and hand in solutions
to the hands-on exercises specified on the course
web page after completing them
• Course project – 3 credits
– Propose (before March 21st) and carry out a
project after the course sessions
– Present your solution to your assigned supervisor
Presentation & expectations of the course
• Say a few words on
– Who you are and what you do for your PhD
– Your prior knowledge and experience of Semantic
Web Technologies (RDF, SPARQL, OWL, ...)
– Why you are taking this course
– What you expect to take away from the course
