Emnebeskrivelse
Mål og innhald
The course provides the theoretical and technological foundations for developing and evolving information systems that are driven by semantic models, such as ontologies and vocabularies and that leverage big open data sets. The course also gives the academic background for supervised research on information systems that are based on semantic models. The course reviews and discusses topical theories, technologies and standards for information systems that are based on or driven by knowledge graphs and ontologies. The course also involves actual development work using selected technologies and standards, and it covers a selection of closely related topics such as big open data, semantic Internet of Things (IoT), semantic social media, semantic web services and workflows, and semantic interoperability. Examples of research and research methods in the area will also be presented and discussed.
Læringsutbyte
A student who has completed the course should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge:
The student
- understands central concepts in semantic information systems
- understands central concepts of knowledge graphs and ontologies
- understands how the theories, technologies and standards are used to solve practical problems
- know about topical research methods used in the area
Skills:
The student
- can describe and discuss current research and industry trends in semantic information systems and relevant semantic modelling techniques
- can describe and discuss a selection of related topics such as big open data, semantic Internet of Things (IoT), semantic social media, semantic web services and workflows, and semantic interoperability
- can use the theories, technologies and standards to solve real problems and to justify the choices behind the solution
