The Semantic Web is an evolution of the current WWW and aims to establish meaning to data such that it can be shared, automatically reasoned with, and reused via machine-readable applications. It is a collaborative effort led by the World Wide Web Consortium, with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. This course will give an introduction to Semantic Web technologies and their applications. The crux of the Semantic Web is in semantic representation of data using ontologies. Thus, we will delve into different aspects of Ontology representation, creation, design, reasoning, programming and applications throughout the course. The Semantic Web will gradually evolve out of the existing Web. Huge potential and advantages of the Semantic Web technology have driven heavy investment from industry and governments. Facing fast developing in the area, this course focuses on fundamental aspects that can be expected to remain relative some time into the future.
