[Metadatalibrarians] Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems

[Rory Litwin]

Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems


https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate/xml-and-rdf-based-systems/


In this 6-course certificate program, you will gain competency as a coder
in XML and RDF-based systems that create, transform, manage, and
disseminate content and metadata. Typically, these are the structures at
the heart of content management systems, repositories, and digital
libraries, as well as the upcoming BIBFRAME. Topics covered include XML
fundamentals, XPath, DTDs and Schemas, standard markup languages, XSLT and
Xquery, the semantic web, RDFa and RDFa Lite, RSS, ontologies and linked
data, and the SPARQL semantic query language and protocol.

Courses in this series, beginning August 3rd:

- Introduction to XML
- Transforming and Querying XML with XSLT and Xquery
- Introduction to RDF
- RDFa1.1 (RDFa and RDFa Lite) and RSS
- Linked Data
- The SPARQL Fundamentals I - the Semantic Web in Action

The first course, Introduction to XML, starts on Monday, August 3rd. This
course will provide an introduction to XML (the eXtensible Markup Language)
and also introduce some basic tools for working with XML documents. The
main goals of this course are for students to get comfortable with XML as
structured data format, learn the basic rules and tools for working with
XML, and learn about several XML standards used in the library, digital
humanities, and publishing communities. Topics will include: understanding
basic XML document structures and content models, XPath, XML Document Type
Definitions (DTDs) and Schemas. The course will also provide an
introduction to several more advanced topics, as time allows, including XML
namespaces and Library of Congress XML markup standards that are relevant
to electronic text resources and metadata management including Dublin Core,
MARC-XML, and MODS.

We are offering some optional follow-up classes in addition: The SPARQL
Fundamentals II, The SPARQL Fundamentals III, Fundamentals of XSLT,
Introduction to JSON and Structured Data, and JSON-LD Fundamentals.

These courses work best if taken in sequence, as the sequence builds on
knowledge gained, but we have no formal prerequisites in place. If you need
to take them out of sequence, feel free to contact us about your situation.
