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, followed by an overview of RDF Schemas (a.k.a. RDF Vocabulary Description Language),
the standard Query language (SPARQL), and the Web Ontology Language (OWL), including some of the recent features of OWL 2. The presentation also includes some words on the newest evolution of rules in the Semantic Web, namely RIF. During the presentation examples of practical usage, coming from industrial or governmental applications, are also provided.
Participants are not expected to have a prior knowledge of Semantic Web technologies.
