Semantic Web

November 24th, 2021

As part of the W3C Semantic Web initiative standards and technologies have been developed for machine-readable exchange of data, information and knowledge on the Web. These standards and technologies are increasingly being used in applications and have already led to a number of exciting projects (e.g. DBpedia, semantic wiki or commercial applications such as schema.org, OpenCalais, or Google’s KnowledgeGraph). The module provides a theoretically grounded and practically oriented introduction to this area.
