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 Freebase).

The topics discussed within the lecture include:
• History of the Web and Semantic Web
• RDF syntax and data model;
• RDF Schema and formal semantics of RDF(S);
• Ontologies in OWL and formal semantics of OWL;
• RDF databases, triple and knowledge stores, query languages;
• Linked Data Web and Semantic Web applications;
• Semantic text analysis and information retrieval systems.
This course will enable the students to develop the knowledge necessary for understanding data oriented Web Technologies. Students will develop skills and competencies that are required for applying these technologies in real world settings and developing applications using Semantic Web technologies.
