+ | ===== COURSE PLAN ===== | ||
+ | ==== Lecture 1: Introduction and Web Architecture === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this first lecture ({{:teaching:infoh509:1-intro-webarch.pdf|slides}}) we (1) overview the content and objectives of the course and (2) discuss the history of the Web and its overall architecture (URIs, resources, representations). In particular we have looked at the working of the HTTP protocol and gave a very brief overview of HTML and CSS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required reading:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986|RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)]]: Generic Syntax - Only Section 1 "Introduction" | ||
+ | * [[http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-webarch-20041215/|Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One]] - Only Sections 1,2,3 | ||
+ | * [[http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/|HTTP made really easy]] (Note that this document uses an outdated interpretation of the term "resource") | ||
+ | * The book chapter 1 (pages 3-31) and chapter 8 (pages 343-361). | ||
+ | * The {{:teaching:infoh509:1-intro-webarch.pdf|slides}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 2: XML and XPath === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lecture 2 has introduced XML and XPath in depth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required reading:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Chapter 2 and chapter 3 (except section 3.6) in the book | ||
+ | * The {{:teaching:infoh509:2-xml-xpath.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 3: XML Schema Languages: DTDs === | ||
+ | Lecture 3 has introduced (1) the motivation behind XML Schema Languages, (2) syntax and | ||
+ | semantics of DTDs, and (3) regular expressions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See pages 92-113 in the book as well as the {{:teaching:infoh509:3-xml_schemas.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 4: XML Schema Languages: XSDs === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Lecture 3, we have discussed the limitations of DTDs. Some of these | ||
+ | limitations are lifted by XML Schema, whose syntax and semantics were studied during lecture 4. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See pages 113-158 in the book as well as the | ||
+ | {{:teaching:infoh509:4-xml_schemas_part_2.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Project Assignment 1: XML Schema Definition ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Construct an XML Schema Definition for the information recorded by a | ||
+ | bookshop ({{:teaching:infoh509:un_en.pdf|full assignment}}). | ||
+ | |||
+ | This assignment is to be made in groups of | ||
+ | two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two | ||
+ | more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam | ||
+ | contributes the remaining 14/20 points. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note tip>You can use these simple {{:teaching:infoh509:validationtools.zip|validation tools}} (written in Java) to help check if your example documents conform toyour XSD. Unzip the file, and then use either ''java -jar DTDValidator.jar <xmldoc>'' or ''java -jar XSDValidator.jar <schemadoc> <xmldoc>'' to validate. The third jar file contais the source code, should you be interested.</note> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 5: Transforming XML documents with XSLT === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Lecture 5 we have discussed how XML documents can be transformed | ||
+ | into other formats (be it XML or not) using XSLT. See pages 188-239 in | ||
+ | the book (**except sections 5.8.5, 5.8.7, 5.8.9, 5.8.10 and 5.11**) and | ||
+ | the {{:teaching:infoh509:5-xslt.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Project Assignment 2: XSLT ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Write a single XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that generates, starting from the | ||
+ | dblp-excerpt.xml file, a number of HTML files that together | ||
+ | collectively emulates part of the DBLP website. Read the | ||
+ | {{:teaching:infoh509:deux_en.pdf|full assignment}}, and download the | ||
+ | corresponding {{:teaching:infoh509:deux_xslt_data.zip|support files}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This assignment is to be made in groups of | ||
+ | two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two | ||
+ | more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam | ||
+ | contributes the remaining 14/20 points. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note tip>The zip file above contains a XSLT transformation tool. You can use ''java -jar xslt-tool.jar <xslt-file> <inputfile> <outputfile>'' to run it. </note> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 6: Querying XML documents with XQuery === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Lecture 6 we have discussed how XML documents can be queried and transformed into other formats (be it XML or not) using XQuery. See pages 240-2840 in the book (**except sections 6.7.5, 6.8, 6.9**) and | ||
+ | the {{:teaching:infoh509:6-xquery.pdf|corresponding slides}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Project Assignment 3: XQuery ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are requested to write XQuery programs for several queries against | ||
+ | the DBLP bibliographical database introduced in Project Assignment | ||
+ | 2. Read the | ||
+ | {{:teaching:infoh509:trois_en.pdf|full assignment}}, and download the | ||
+ | corresponding {{:teaching:infoh509:trois_xquery_data.zip|support files}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This assignment is to be made in groups of | ||
+ | two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two | ||
+ | more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam | ||
+ | contributes the remaining 14/20 points. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 7: RDF and RDF schema==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In lecture 7 we have introduced the RDF data model, its serialization formats, and basics of RDF Schema. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required reading:** | ||
+ | The {{:teaching:infoh509:7-rdf.pdf|lecture slides}}, the [[http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-primer/|RDF 1.1 Primer]], and these [[http://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/9tPKB74Oku5EtmX|course notes]] (password protected). | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Recommended (but optional) reading:** | ||
+ | In addition, it is recommended to read the [[http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/|RDF 1.1. Turtle Syntax]] specification (sections 1-3) and the [[http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-rdf-syntax-grammar-20140225/|RDF 1.1. XML Syntax]]specification (only section 2) to get the best overview of the RDF serialization formats. In addition, the {{:teaching:infoh509:semantic-web.pdf|original semantic web article}} is a good read to get an insight into the original motivation for the semantic web. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 8: OWL and SPARQL ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In lecture 8 we introduce the Web Ontology Language (OWL), which adds advanced inferencing capabilities to RDF. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required reading:** | ||
+ | The {{:teaching:infoh509:8-owl.pdf|lecture slides on owl}} and these [[http://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/JdWr9IdtLZXoaKP|course notes]] (password protected). | ||
+ | |||
+ | We have also introduced and illustrated the main constructs of SPARQL, a query language for RDF. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required reading:** | ||
+ | The {{:teaching:infoh509:9-sparql.pdf|lecture slides on sparql}} and these [[http://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/0ZBGdtNHgoXvsO8|course notes]] (password protected) [section 7.1.9 and further is not required reading]. | ||
