Liyang Yu, Ph.D
Author of the book "Introduction to the Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services"
Semantic Web Tutorial Summary
Semantic Web, as a potential future direction of the current Web, has been the focus of both academia and business world. This tutorial covers its core body of knowledge, including the major technical components and the relationships among these components. It also discusses its current status and real world application examples. The goal is to build a solid foundation enabling you to explore the world of semantic Web on your own.
Tutorial Schedule
09:00 - 09:20
The Concept of Semantic Web
- what we do on the Web
- what prevents us from doing more
- solution: adding semantics to the Web
09:20 - 10:20
Semantic Web Technical Component 1: RDF and Examples
- RDF as the basic building block: its concept and main constructs
- RDF data aggregation with linked data
- RDF data model: a graph that machines understand
10:20 - 11:20
Semantic Web Technical Component 2: RDFS and Examples
- where are the semantics?
- RDFS: a language for precise definition of semantics
- simple yet smart: the added reasoning power
11:20 - 12:00
Semantic Web Technical Component 3: OWL and Examples
- create ontology with much more expressiveness
- enhanced reasoning power
- RDF instances + OWL ontology = semantic Web
12:00 - 12:30
Discussion about Semantic Web Technical Components
- Q & A about RDF, RDFS and OWL
- Tools for Developing Semantic Web Applications
12:30 - 13:30 Lunch
13:30 - 14:00
Semantic Web Example 1: the FOAF project
- FOAF ontology
- FOAF example: join the circle of trust
- FOAF agent example: create your own circle of trust
- Q & A
14:00 - 14:30
Semantic Web Example 2: a smart ShopBot
- how traditional ShopBot works
- a smart ShopBot on Semantic Web;
- Q & A
14:30 - 15:00
Semantic Web Technical Component 4: SPARQL
- SPARQL: query the semantic Web
- SPARQL language constructs and examples
- SPARQL endpoints
15:00 - 15:15
Semantic Web in the Spotlight
- semantic Web: a chicken-egg issue?
- killer application of semantic Web: does it exist at all?
- current status and patterns: what next?
15:15 - 15:30 Coffee Break
15:30 - 16:00
Real World Semantic Web in Action Part 1: Semantic Wiki
- semantic annotation in semantic wiki
- search in semantic wiki
- where are the semantics?
16:00 - 16:30
Real World Semantic Web in Action Part 2: DBpedia
- automatic generation of semantic annotation
- search in DBpedia
- where are the semantics?
16:30 - 17:00
