Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The overall learning goal of this course is that students shall be able to identify, apply and evaluate interoperability techniques and methods for supporting interoperability between information systems and enterprises, using ontology and semantic web.
The specific learning goals for this course are:
1. The student shall be able to explain the need for interoperability between enterprises.
2. The student shall be able to explain the different levels of interoperability as well as different kinds of interoperability.
3. The student shall be able to analyze, evaluate and select appropriate methods, technologies and tools from current state of the art research to support interoperability, specifically focusing on semantic interoperability.
4. The student shall be able to define and construct RDF conceptual graphs from a given domain description.
5. The student shall be able to build a conceptual model of given domain from natural language description.
6. The student shall be able to compare and analyse between RDF conceptual graphs and other conceptual modeling languages like UML.
7- The student shall be able to assess and summarize the Semantic Web and its applications.
8. The student shall be able to analyse,model and represent domain knowledge as an ontology using ontology representation languages like OWL.
9. The student shall be able to represent and model simple business constraints as axioms using representation language like DL .
10. The student shall be able to choose and use appropriate ontology design and development methods in the design of abovementioned domain ontology.
11. The student shall be able to implement an ontology using ontology development environments like Protégé.
