Presentation

Assessment 2: Written Assignment

Individually produce a report, describing a selected domain, organising its core knowledge in the form of an ontology, and providing sample queries in SPARQL addressing usage needs for the domain knowledge. Word count is indicative and does not include table of contents, tables, figures, diagrams, references and appendices.

Written Assignment

<p>How do you combine information from Web sources that are using different terminology? This is the fundamental question underlying the idea of the Semantic Web. The answer is the use of graph-based structures that describe a kind of common vocabulary for a particular domain, and annotation that describes information sources in terms of this vocabulary. Then, information can be queried similar to having a (distributed) database. This module will cover basic languages for describing ontologies, as well as languages and tools for processing and querying them. Working both individually and in teams, you will get a hands-on experience in using semantic web technologies. In addition, you will be introduced to industry practice around concepts of so called Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs.</p>
