Course Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the Semantic Web, focusing on Semantic Web technologies that have reached a certain level of maturity and acceptance, particularly XML, Resource Description Framework (RDF), and Web Ontology Language (OWL).<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the course, students should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain the reasons for extending web technologies with semantic models, ontologies, and reasoning systems.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize new and unexpected uses of available data enabled by the Semantic Web.<\/li>\n<li>Design ontologies in specific domains, implement them using Prot\u00e9g\u00e9, and utilize them effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Understand the fundamental logical principles underlying Semantic Web technologies.<\/li>\n<li>Identify suitable applications for Semantic Web technologies and be familiar with existing applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Course Topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The course covers the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction to the Semantic Web<\/li>\n<li>Architectures and tools of the Semantic Web<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to Ontologies\n<ul>\n<li>RDF and RDF Schema \u2013 Ontology development<\/li>\n<li>OWL \u2013 Ontology development<\/li>\n<li>Social indexing (Folksonomies)<\/li>\n<li>Semantic and social web<\/li>\n<li>Ontologies and reasoning<\/li>\n<li>Ontologies: Automatic development<\/li>\n<li>Integration of ontologies and web services<\/li>\n<li>Semantic web services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. Teaching Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The education of students combines lectures, discussions, and practical experience.<\/p>\n<p>A significant part of the teaching involves students studying specific literature, which they will present in groups to share the knowledge they acquired.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the literature study, students will work on software development related to the Semantic Web.<\/p>\n<p>Students will extensively use Protege, a graphical editor for Semantic Web documents, to gain practical experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Student Assessment Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Student assessment is based on the final written exam, assignments given during the course, and software development projects related to the Semantic Web. Participation in presentations will also be considered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Equipment and Software Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The required equipment for student training in a laboratory environment is provided by the computer science department, and the software and tools used will be provided for free in the form of open-source licenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.
