- | ==== 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). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | <note tip>You can use {{:teaching:infoh509:xquery-tool.zip|saxon (a java application)}} to run your XQuery programs. You can use ''java -cp "saxon9he.jar" net.sf.saxon.Query –s:<source file> -q:<query file> –o:<output file>" to run it. </note> | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== 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/qxYxGEY5RAdc4eX|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 [[https://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/mhkAvjRFsdt4QGC|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 [[https://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/1A3pxeloo6pJJXx|course notes]] (password protected) [section 7.1.9 and further is not required reading]. | + | |
