Web of Open Linked Data
The Web of Linked Data (WLD) is a major step towards making abstractions represented in data into something that can be meaningfully manipulated by computing machines. This experiential-learning project-based course introduces models and technologies for representing, aggregating, and machine reasoning about data using WWW standards (e.g., XML, RDF, OWL, SPARQL, RIF). The course prepares students to build applications and services for open government, eCommerce, OpenStreetMap, etc. The course also explores key issues in the development of the future of linked data.
CSCI 4163
Human-Computer Interaction
The 2023– course is substantially different from the Summer 2002 version.
It is also taught by K. Inkpen, and others.
