Level:  Technical - Introductory


This course introduces students to RDF, RDFS, and a few bits of OWL. We then move on to sample model creation and automated reasoning. No Prior RDF knowledge necessary, but familiarity with XML and some basic Computer Science concepts a plus.

We use exercises and examples to reinforce learning, and cover the following:

  • What is RDF?
    • * Graph Model, Triples * URLs and Namespacing * Serialization Formats (RDF-XML, Turtle, NTriples) * RDF Querying

  • What is RDFS?
    • * What it adds to RDF * RDFS Constructs & Inference type, class, property, subClassOf, subpropertyOf,range, domain, label, comment)

  • RDFS++: Adding bits of OWL
    • * Transitive properties * Same As * Inverse Properties

  • Reasoning in action: A demonstration of all the concepts defined so far, in action
  • Q & A
