This tutorial gives an overview of the basic Semantic Web Technologies developed at W3C. Using practical
examples, the fundamentals of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) are presented, together with the
mapping of the general RDF principles on XML. Then a detailed overview of RDF Schemas (a.k.a. RDF
Vocabulary Description Language) is given, followed by an overview of the Web Ontology Language (OWL).
Finally, new technologies, like SPARQL, SKOS, are also presented. The tutorial also gives some guidelines
on how Semantic Web programs are developed in practice, gives example for applications, and finally gives
some ideas on the directions the technologies evolve at W3C in the coming years.
Participants are expected to
