One of the main goals the semantic web (which includes the concepts of
Linked Data/the Web of Data) is to allow the web to be treated like a
database through structured metadata, controlled vocabularies, and data
linking.

Simply put, semantics is the process of adding description and information
to resources to help us (and machines) to understand the meaning of these
resources. This is not a foreign concept to LIS professionals, the language
and tools of semantic data, however, are a relatively new and evolving
discipline.

This course will focus on the the basic concepts of the RDF framework,
including URIs, Subjects, Predicates, and Objects, and how to use
vocabularies as Properties. We will work with an XML representation
(serialization) of RDF and create some simple RDF resource descriptions
(triples) and demonstrate how these descriptions can be used to link/share
different information about resources. The course will also introduce the
fundamentals of Semantic vocabularies and ontologies in RDFS, SKOS, and OWL.

This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our
Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems, and may assume a certain level of
background knowledge covered in other courses in the sequence.
