The exercises are related to the lecture Semantic Web Technologies.

Multiple exercises are held that capture the topics, held in the lecture Semantic Web Technologies, and discuss them in detail. Thereby, practical examples are given to the students in order to transfer theoretical aspects into practical implementation.

The following topics are covered:

• Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema (RDFS)
• Web Architecture and Linked Data
• Web Ontology Language (OWL)
• Query language SPARQL
• Rule languages
• Applications

Learning objectives:

The student

• understands the motivation and foundational ideas behind Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies, and is able to analyse and realise systems
• demonstrates basic competency in the areas of data and system integration on the web
• masters advanced knowledge representation scenarios involving ontologies

Recommendations:

Lectures on Informatics of the Bachelor on Information Systems (Semester 1-4) or equivalent are required. Knowledge of modeling with UML is required.
