Abstract

This course is an introduction to Semantic Technologies that provide easier ways to find, share, reuse and combine information. Semantic Technologies define and link data on the Web or within an enterprise by developing languages to express rich, self-describing interrelations of data in a form that machines can process. They provide an abstraction layer above existing IT technologies that connects data, content and processes. Semantic Technology standards developed by W3C include - a flexible data model RDF (Resource Description Framework) for storing data in graph databases - schema and ontology languages for describing concepts and relationships (RDFS and OWL) - the query language SPARQL designed to query data across various systems and databases and to retrieve and process data stored in RDF format. Applications of Semantic Technologies range from Linked Data, Wikidata, Healthcare and Pharma Industry, Supply Chain Management, Publishing and Media Management, Web Search and E-commerce to Data Integration in the Oil & Gas industry.
