Tutorial on Semantic Technology at Semantic Days 2011
This is the homepage for the tutorial on semantic technology presented at the conference Semantic Days 2011 June 7th, 13:00–18:00.
The tutorial is based on material from the course INF3580 given at the University of Oslo. Learn how to publish and retrieve knowledge using W3C Semantic Web standards. Create an ontology to formalize a data model, and reason about it. Target audience: programmers, students, professionals. Don't forget to bring your laptop! Presenters: Martin Giese and Martin G. Skjæveland, Department of informatics, University of Oslo.
