Course Objectives This course aims to provide the basic overview of what the Semantic Web is and how it can be used.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • understand the concept structure of the semantic web technology and how this technology revolutionizes the World Wide Web and its uses.
  • understand the concepts of metadata, semantics of knowledge and resource, ontology, and their descriptions in XML-based syntax and web ontology language (OWL).
  • describe logic semantics and inference with OWL.
  • use ontology engineering approaches in semantic applications
Course Content XML, resource description language, web ontology language, ontologies and rules, query languages-SPARQL, ontology engineeering, semantic web applications and semantic web services.
