Goals
After the course the student should:
* Be able to understand and explain the basic ideas of Knowledge Graphs and
Semantic Web Technologies, including Linked Data and ontologies, and the
related standards (RDF, OWL, SPARQL,...)
* Be able to understand, retrieve, load in a triple store, query (online or
offline) and use existing RDF-based Knowledge Graphs from the Web
* Be able to use an ontology engineering methodology and ontology engineering
tools to design and formalize a high-quality OWL ontology, based on a specific
usage scenario (set of requirements)
* Be able to evaluate, align, and repair an OWL ontology, using current methods
and tools for ontology alignment, evaluation, and repair
* Be able to understand and to explain how ontologies are typically used in
applications
* Have a basic idea of the current research topics and open research problems
in the field
