In this course we will teach you the most important concepts regarding Semantic Web and you will have the opportunity to practice them in a popular programming language (Python).
First we will introduct you into the Semantic Web World with a crutial motivation.
We gonna see how important is the data integration accross the web. We gonna see the web architecture. We will analize some traditional data models like tabular data and relational data.
Next we will evolve and refactor the schemas presented. We will present how to add flexibility to our data with some examples to show how the concepts are useful. We gonna see Semantic Relationships, also that Metadata is Data, the importance to build for the Unexpected and Perpetual Beta.
Last but not least we will show the examples in practice on a hands on approach in second section.
We will create our Triplestore in Python and manage how to add, remove and query over it.
We also gonna implement the merging graphs.
In a more advanced moment we gonna show feed-forward inference, implement chains of rules, see some basic graph visualization.
To finish we will introduce some concepts and tools that can be explored in a future course: RDF Data Model, RDF Serialization Formats, RDL/XML, RDFa, RDFLib and SPARQL.
