The World Wide Web (WWW) has become a major part of many people's lives. The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the meaning (semantics) of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content. The goal of the course is to introduce advanced techniques for Web 1.0 (XML and XML Schema), Web 2.0 (AJAX and mashups) and Web 3.0 (RDF, OWL, microformats and microdata). It also covers some data exploitation techniques.

The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the meaning (semantics) of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content. The goal of the course is to introduce advanced techniques for Web 1.0 (XML and XML Schema), Web 2.0 (AJAX, tagging and mashups) and Web 3.0 (RDF, OWL, microformats and microdata). It also covers some knowledge representation techniques, such as those related to ontologies. XML and XSLT, XML Schema, AJAX, Tagging, Microformat, RDF, SPARQL, OWL, Ontology Design Pattern, Ontology Construction Using XSLT, Jena: Constructing RDF Graphs, Jena: Populating OWL Ontologies, Mashup, Semantic Mashup.
(i)Assistive technologies may be required for any student who is unable to use a standard keyboard/mouse/computer monitor. Any students wishing to discuss this further should contact the School Disability Co-ordinator. (ii) Non-graduating students would require the following background/experience: basic concepts of knowledge representation and reasoning.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st Attempt: 1 two-hour written examination (50%); continuous assessment (50%). Continuous assessment consists of a group presentation and 5,000 word group report (25%) and an individual project to create a web application (25%). Resit: One 2-hour examination (100%).
During lectures, the Personal Response System and/or other ways of student interaction will be used for formative assessment. Additionally, practical sessions will provide students with practice opportunities and formative assessment.
Formative feedback for in-course assessments will be provided in written form. Additionally, formative feedback on performance will be provided informally during practical sessions.
