Lecture: Semantic Web
Former name of the lecture: Anwendungssysteme im E-Business - Semantic Web-basierter E-Commerce
Prof. Dr. Martin Hepp, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany, WT 2013
Exam
- Date and time are yet to be determined.
- Please be prepared to answer both
- theoretical / background questions on the basic aspects, relevance, dependencies of the various topics and
- precise technical questions on the function of componentes of the Web and the Semantic Web and the core (!) syntax of the most important languages, like Turtle, RDFa, Microdata, and SPARQL.
- Comprehensive modeling or code examples will not be covered in the exam, but you must have firmly understood the basics.
- Additional materials (computers, smartphones, books, hand-outs and any other documents) are not required and thus also not allowed during the exam.
- The exam will be a traditional,paper-based exam (no online or computer-based parts).
