The Semantic Web
is a W3C Activity for representing information in the World Wide Web in a
machine-readable fashion: such that it can be used by machines not just for display
purposes, but for automation, integration, and reuse across applications.
This course introduces techniques that are useful stand-alone and can be
integrated for building a semantic web. |
